Chennai Cracks Down on Illegal Sewage Connections, Imposes Fines

Imagine your toilet pipes were secretly connected to the city's rainwater drains!

That's what some people are doing in Chennai, illegally dumping sewage.

The city is cracking down, because this causes health problems and floods during the rain.

The city will start fining people, with a week's warning.

If people don't fix their illegal connections, they'll get cut off and fined.

Residents want the city to improve drainage systems, especially in areas that lack proper sewage networks, and stop the overflowing sewage from going on the roads.
