India, Nov. 24 -- The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has intensified its sewer cleaning and monitoring operations after an alleged deliberate act of sabotage came to light in the Noorpur Mor area of Tikli, officials said on Sunday.

During routine cleaning, an MCG team found bricks, stones and other solid waste stuffed inside a manhole, raising suspicion that someone had intentionally attempted to block the sewer line.

The discovery caused a stir in the locality, prompting the cleaning team to swiftly open the manhole, remove the debris and restore normal water flow.

Workers said that had the obstruction gone unnoticed, drainage problems in nearby lanes would have worsened significantly over the coming days.
