Citing this warning, the Second Innings Association has urged the Chandigarh administration to act immediately.
The association demanded urgent repairs to the city’s ageing water supply and sewerage systems.

According to the association, several Phase-1 sectors in Chandigarh face the highest risk.
Water and sewerage pipelines in these areas are over 70 years old.
Residents often complain about black, foul-smelling, and contaminated water.
Despite repeated alerts, authorities have failed to provide a permanent solution.

The association quoted official data showing over 30 percent water leakage in the city.
This leakage wastes water and increases the risk of drinking water contamination.
It poses a serious threat to public health, the group warned.

Members said they informed the administration many times but saw no action.
They questioned delays despite the UT Administrator’s power to approve projects worth ₹100 crore.
The association said phase-wise pipeline replacement should start immediately.

The group criticised officials for hiding behind the term “system failure” after accidents.
They said advance warnings demand timely decisions and firm action.

The association appealed to treat the Indore incident as a wake-up call.
It urged swift reforms to prevent a similar tragedy in Chandigarh.

With the special meeting now cancelled, the issue has effectively shifted to the administration. Senior officials of the administration and municipal corporation will now advance the project, while AAP and Congress continue to monitor the developments closely.
