No. P3/2-13/Chennai Fgn Post Dt. 25.04.2014.
To
The Postmaster General,
Chennai City Region,
Chennai 600 002.
Respected Sir,
Sub:
Request for immediate repairs/reconstruction of
septic tank and toilets at
Chennai Air Complex Building, which
is under the Control of Chennai City
South
Division – Immediate cleaning of
the Septic Tank-Sediments and contaminated
Water over flowing on the nearby Road
in the Air Complex - Reg.
…..
It is a known fact that the condition of
the Air Complex Building at Chennai
is very poor and
numerous works have to be carried out including the renovation of toilets and septic tanks provided there.
Based on that, proposals were sent, vide Foreign Post, Chennai letter No.BDG/10-2/11-12 dated 10.07.12 in
response to C.O.
letter No.
BDG/31-159/2012-13 dated 03.07.2012. In the minutes of the Building Co-ordination
Meeting held on 24th July 2012, EE (Civil) had been asked to submit
the estimates for all maintenance works in Foreign Post. However, no estimates
have been received till date. This is the present stage and because of prolonged negligence on this issue , the problems
brewed up and the condition of the toilets become worst,
the septic tank provided are stagnated, filled with soil and sediments and
the choke pits lost their lives.
Being the septic tank filled up,
the surplus contaminated water is
now overflowing on the nearby road in
the Air Complex. The foul smell emanated from the septic tank
creates health hazard and many
officials working there applied
leave and left. Though many reports are
made by the local staff, no action
seems initiated to settle the problem.
Eventhough action is taken on temporary cleaning of the
surplus water on many times,
it serves no purposes, since the
septic tank is completely filled in with sand and
prolonged stagnated sediments. Cleaning
happens on monthly basis and
only the Government money is wasted on this recurring spending,
without having permanent solution.
Hence, we
request that, action should be taken in a war footing manner, so as to
clean the septic tank temporarily now , and action should be taken
for the renovation of the existing toilet and pipelines, septic tanks,
immediately, at least with a separate proposal, not to be clubbed with the
entire maintenance works.
With regards,
(J. RAMAMURTHY)
CIRCLE SECRETARY.
