25 illegal water connection holders booked

Twenty five criminal cases have been booked against customers who illegally reopened their disconnected water supply connection in different divisions of the Water Board in the last three months. A special drive was taken up in the last 15 days and 25 cases were booked so far.

The board said that the drive would be continued vigorously. Director (revenue) of the Water Board said that similar action would be taken against defaulting customers who reopen their disconnected water supply connections. The water supply connections were disconnected for non-payment of dues and for causing heavy revenue losses to the board.
