After the dirty water crisis in Bhagirathpura, the Municipal Corporation is working with full caution. Investigation has revealed leakage in the main line below the toilet adjacent to the post.
Due to this leakage, there was a danger of contaminated water getting into the pipeline. On the instructions of Commissioner Dilip Kumar Yadav, repair work was started immediately. After the improvement work, flushing, chlorination and sample testing will be done first. Water supply will be restored in the area only when the water lab report is completely satisfactory. The Commissioner has said that no compromise will be made with public health.
