MAPUSA: Sanitary pads, hand towels caused blockage to pipeline of Mapusa Police Station’s sewerage tank.
Even after informing the Mapusa police authorities, this is the third time that sewerage pipeline of Mapusa police station was blocked. The state of the Art Mapusa station was inaugurated in August 2016, since then this is the third time that the sewerage tank is blocked and overflowing.
However, the PWD Mapusa has already removed sewerage water with one tanker. Sources, however, said the blockage was caused due to flushing of sanitary pads and such things in the toilet. While cleaning, PWD also found hand towels which also led to blockage. However, the repair work is still going on.
When contacted Sadhana Bandekar, senior officer of PWD, said: “This is the third time that the sewerage pipeline is blocked. The blockage is cased due to dumping of sanitary pads. We have found hand seven towels in the pipe. When the pipe was blocked two times earlier, we had informed the authorities of Mapusa police the cause of blockage and to stop dumping sanitary pads in toilets.”
