LUCKNOW, Jan. 28 -- Civic issues such as overflowing sewer lines, water contamination, dysfunctional streetlights, road encroachment and irregular door-to-door waste collection dominated the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) House meeting held on Tuesday. Corporators from across the city accused LMC wings of negligence and inaction.

As similar complaints were raised from multiple wards, mayor Sushma Kharkwal took cognisance of them and directed corporators to submit their questions limited to sewer and water contamination in writing. She announced that a special meeting would be held on February 3, during which senior LMC officials would be required to respond to each query raised by the corporators in the House.
