2. It is pleaded, that the sewerage system passing in front of the complainant’s premises has been damaged, resulting in its blockage and accumulation of garbage and filth due to which the filthy water is flowing in the factory premises spreading foul smell and that the whole area has become breeding place of flies and mosquitoes. It is alleged that the stagnating water is hindrance in reaching the premises and there is likelihood that some epidemic may break out. They reported the matter to the concerned authorities several times but they did not pay any attention. Consequently, they undertook to remove filthy water and garbage etc. themselves by employing labour and installing sucking pump.
