Kanpur Municipal Corporation drive clears encroachments on VIP road
1 2 Kanpur: The encroachment drive by Kanpur Municipal Corporation 's teams continued on the fifth day on Friday, as intense activity was witnessed across multiple zones. KMC's bulldozers reached VIP road under heavy security in the morning and removed encroachments including ramps and platforms constructed atop the nullah for nearly one kilometer. To mitigate waterlogging along VIP road, KMC had elevated the roadside drains, but locals had built ramps up to ten feet over the drains, which hindered cleaning and desilting operations. As soon as bulldozers began demolishing the ramps, residents appealed to officials for time, promising to remove the encroachments themselves. However, KMC officials continued with the operation, dismantling ramps outside nearly two dozen houses and seized leftover debris. In zone – 1, the anti-encroachment squad conducted an operation near Collectorganj Mal Godown road, removing ten permanent ramps, around 20 hand carts, and a temporary structure that had been set up over a health department nullah. In zone – 2, the squad demolished 25 tin sheds, 15 platforms from the footpath, and imposed fines around Rs 4,000. Similarly, in zone – 5, operations at Swaraj Nagar and Panki area targeted approximately 45 temporary encroachments in addition to around 20 permanent structures, also razing ramps and stairs erected over the nullah. The squad collected a fine totalling Rs 10,000.

Funds sanctioned to resolve sewage overflow in Civil Lines
Kanpur: The Kanpur Municipal Corporation (KMC) on Thursday sanctioned a sum of Rs 92.24 lakh to UP Jal Nigam (Rural) to resolve the issue persistent sewage water logging near Amba Nursing Home in Civil Lines area. The problem reportedly originated nearly four years ago when I&D project of nullahs under the Namami Gange Mission was implemented. Since then, sewer chambers have consistently overflowed in the area resulting in frequent water logging in Civil Lines as well as on VIP Road. Mayor Pramila Pandey told reporters that a team of Jalkal engineers visited the site to examine the situation. It was observed that a 1,600 mm diameter rising line had been divided into two lines of 800 mm diameter each, and later recombined into a 1,600 mm diameter rising line leading to reduced flow in the system. The UP Jal Nigam (Rural) work agency stated that the original 1,600 mm diameter line was laid under JNNURM and that the Muir Mill nullah was not crossed near Amba Nursing Home. In 2019, during Ardh Kumbh, the line was connected to two pipelines of 800 mm and one of 450 mm diameter. These three pipelines are insufficient to handle the pressure of the sewer flow during peak hours, resulting in overflow in the Civil Lines area. The engineers concluded that the only viable solution was to lay a 1,600 mm diameter RCC pipeline, estimated to cost around Rs 92.24 lakh. Based on this assessment and after discussions with officials, it was decided to allocate the sanctioned amount to the UP Jal Nigam (Rural). As the chairman of the Committee of the 15th Commission, Mayor Pramila Pandey sanctioned the funds and instructed UP Jal Nigam (Rural) to commence the work without delay.
