MJP starts repairing of 900-mm pipeline

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:

At last, the Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP) has geared up and started repairing the 900-mm diameter defunct pipeline at Pharola Junction on Saturday. The task is likely to be completed by Sunday evening, said the sources.

The functioning of the 900-mm pipeline has been disrupted for the past 14 days. Hence the city was deprived of 20 MLD of water daily for the last two weeks. It may be noted that the demand for water has increased due to the onset of the summer. In the scenario, the supply of 20 MLD of water provides relief to the citizens. The MJP started the work on Saturday and the work was underway till evening.
