Water leaks from underground pipelines at Garacharma Junior Engineer assures rectification in two days
TMI Correspondent
Port Blair, May 04: This is high time to get together to conserve water
in our islands to survive some more days in view of shortage of water in dams
and still a long time left for monsoon rains to hit this year. In this
connection, of course the general public must give their contribution towards
water conservation by limiting their usage and by avoiding water overflow at
homes and commercial places. Similarly, it is also the responsibility of APWD
and Municipal Council to provide proper maintenance and checkup to the
pipelines lying underground.
For instance, pictures show the leakage from underground pipe lines at
Garacharma Junction, Garacharma Medical and Garacharma to Attam Pahad way. In
these areas the days on which water is supplied, people witness leakage of
water from underground pipelines flowing on to the roads.
If these underground pipelines were checked properly and leakages
repaired on time, the water scarcity situations in islands can be averted and
sufficient water can be conserved. In view of hot summer and drought like
situations increasing year by year, the authorities should set a special
strategy to face the summers in future. Also authorities should keep an eye on
domestic and commercial pipe connections.
Speaking
to this correspondent, the Junior Engineer, Water Treatment Plant, APWD,
Prothrapur, Shri Rakesh Kumar said ‘these leakages will be rectified in two
days, we have already directed the concern contractor to rectify it but due to
the engagement of hitachi in other places it is taking little time. The
leakages of pipelines are in our knowledge and we are making continuous efforts
for its rectification on time”.
