Angry DMC does dirty job for citizens: Midland’s infamous drain cleared

Rampant dumping of garbage and waste into the drain is most common practice of the careless people of Dimapur especially populations that reside along the drains.

Clogging and over-flowing of drains remains a major problem that has been confronting the people and the Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC). The problem is caused by accumulation of waste and garbage in the drains.

The main drain that passes through Midland Colony and Sewak besides other colonies and connecting Dhobinala drain near Holy Cross Higher Secondary School remained blocked preventing free flow of rainwater thereby causing inconvenience to the resident especially living in low-lying areas of the colony.

With the intervention of the Sanitation Branch of the DMC, DMC workers led their sardars and other officials cleared the blocked stretch of the drain on Friday by deploying excavators and manual workforce. Huge heaps of garbage were taken out from the drain.

In its regard, DMC officials have warned said that the municipal authority would impose heavy fines and penalty on anyone found dumping garbage into the drain.

Midland Colony elder Huska Sema and GB Yodi Pucho who was present at the site thanked the DMC for clearing the drain.
