Delhi Minister Ashish Sood on Monday inaugurated an important sewer line replacement project near Major P Shri Kumar Marg in West Delhi’s Janakpuri. The locals had been raising concerns for a while about the collapsed sewer line, which was causing overflow of wastewater in the area, being the reason for not only foul smell, but also unhygienic conditions.
