Water pipeline project troubles people
KANPUR: The residents of Tilak Nagar area are a troubled lot these days. The Jal Nigam had been conducting the digging of roads for laying of water pipelines. For past one week, the area is in the grip of dust. The locals have started keeping their doors and windows closed to prevent dust from coming inside their houses and settling down on household articles.
The situation is so bad that mounds of mud have been placed just outside the bungalows and the apartments in the area. This has also limited the movement of the people. Traffic jams are frequent in the area.
Under JNNURM, Jal Nigam had dug up the road between Company Bagh crossing and Tilak Nagar crossing. With an expense of Rs 10 crores, 3,200 mm size pipes are being laid. For this work, five metres deep trenches have been dug up. There is a mound of mud outside the houses in the area. The road from Company Bagh crossing to Hanuman Temple near Income Tax Colony has not been made despite the completion of the work of laying of pipes. For past fortnight, the locals are facing problems.
People residing in apartments like Chitrakoot, Ratan Castle, Mona Enclave, Sukh Dham, Vijay Shri and in bungalows are facing problems.
Jal Nigam assistant engineer DN Nautiyal said that from Company Bagh crossing till a nursing home (a distance of nearly 1,150 metres), the pipes are being laid. He said so far 550 metres of pipelines had been laid. The work of laying of pipes will go on for more than a month.
