The ongoing Underground Drainage (UGD) work within Vellore City Corporation limits is on a fast track. Officials expect around 80% of the work to be completed by January 31, allowing the civic body to start providing service connections to households in areas where the work has been completed.
The multi-crore project, which was rolled out in 2019, comprises laying main sewer lines, pumping and lifting stations and sewage treatment plants, covering all 60 wards that has around eight lakh residents within the corporation limits.
