Several angry Palolem residents marched to the PWD office after they received filthy and muddy potable water supply in the area. They later questioned the official and brought him for an site inspection.
On observing the heavily mud-infested water running in the residential taps, the officials which also included PWD (Water Supply) AE Lester D’Souza regretfully stated that the muddy water supply as a ‘wash-out’ accidentally released/entering the distribution lines of residential taps.
“We have now found a dead end and accordingly the needful is done. Now, no more muddy water will come in any supply lines, anywhere,” informed an PWD officer in the presence of Congress General Secretary Janardhan Bhandari.
Earlier in the day, when residents of Palolem began to report about the filthy, muddy potable water supply, Bhandari immediately swung into action and reported the same to the PWD (Water Supply) Engineer, and personally reached Palolem to witness the shocking supply of water to nearly 15 households.
Bhandari alongwith some residents visited the PWD AE, apprised the officers and sought their presence for physical verification at the site.
“The matter is taken up by the officers and is now under immediate rectification,” informed Bhandari.
Besides, Congress Block Youth President Vaishnav Pednekar, Congress block minority cell president Gaspar Coutinho were also present amongst others.
