Even as people of Jirbam Municipal area face acute shortage of drinking water, the PHED, Jiribam have failed to fix cracks in the drinking water distribution pipeline laid between Alipur reservoir to Babupara.
The pipeline has been leaking for several days, residents living along the areas said. “Every time water is supplied through the pipelines, it leaks. Several kilolitres of water gets wasted daily this way due to lack of maintenance of concerned Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), Jiribam .
The water leaked from pipeline flows through roadside and logged, which creates disturbance to the commuters.
The locals appealed to the concern to look into the matter at the earliest and to fix the leakage of water pipes, so that water may reach to the people for proper uses.
