Task force for distribution in new water supply scheme

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: In order to strengthen the distribution system under the new water supply scheme, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Administrator G Sreekanth formed a task force of four officers on Monday. Each officer was given the responsibility of the work.

The work of the new water supply scheme is underway through the Maharashtra Jeevan Prathdikaran at Rs 2,740 crore cost.

Officials claim that almost 80 per cent of the work has been completed so far. Many difficulties are being faced in completing the final phase of work.

Problems are being resolved with the help of Government offices like the National Highways Authority of India, Rural Police, Mahavitaran and CSMC.

Efforts are underway to complete the first phase of the scheme by the end of December and the city will get a big relief only if additional water is provided.
