AURANGABAD: Jalna residents received water after 11 days following a technical fault in the Nizam-era pipeline and burst in the newly constructed supply system. The civic body struggled to fix the problems with its sole technician expert in handling both the problems. The water supply was restored on Tuesday evening, four days after the scheduled release of water. Jalna civic body officials said that the repair work was underway on a war footing. The air valve of the motor on the Nizam era pipeline was damaged which could not be fixed due to unavailability of expert technicians. At the same time, the new pipeline burst in another part of the city which had to be repaired. "The air valve of the motor was damaged. It could not be fixed due to unavailability of expert technicians. It was a minor problem. However the engineer required to fix the motor is not in the city and the other engineer lacks the expertise to solve the problem," Babasaheb Manohare, chief officer, Jalna Mun

TOKYO: Scientists believe that more than the radioactive water leaking into the sea from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, the water sitting in 1,000 huge tanks on land is more threatening. Jota Kanda, a professor at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology and one of the scientists who first pointed out that contaminated water was entering the sea, said that compared with the release of radioactive materials in the initial stage of the crisis, the amount of material now is overwhelmingly small. Kanda said that the discharge does not have a big impact on fish in the sea and the real threat is the highly radioactive water sitting in the more than 1,000 huge tanks on land, the Japan Times reports. According to Kanda's estimates, 17.1 trillion becquerels of cesium-137 was released into the sea in the period between June 2011 and September 2012. He said that although the estimate appears huge, but it is overwhelmingly small when compared with the initial release and the cont
