PERNEM
PWD Minister Nilesh Cabral on Wednesday said the proposed 30 MLD water supply plant in Mandrem would be completed in about two years and would resolve the water scarcity issue in Mandrem constituency.
Cabral was inspecting land for the proposed project at the Tuem ITI complex in the presence of Mandrem MLA Jit Arolkar, Pernem MLA Pravin Arlekar and others.
Mandrem constituency is currently facing serious water scarcity and Arolkar has tried to is resolve the issue by supplying water to the public through tankers.
“The extended Chandel water project would be completed in 45 days and this water will be supplied directly to the people in Mandrem constituency. This water supply would be for a minimum of four hours,” said Cabral.
Others present during the inspection included PWD officers, Tuem Sarpanch Sulaksha Naik, Dayanand Mandrekar and others.
Cabral got agitated to see that the roads in Bhomwada-Tuem were dug on both sides to lay underground cables. He called his officers and instructed them to submit a report in two days.
Arolkar point out that the roads dug for underground cabling by the electricity contractor are yet to be tarred and feared that if the road is dug up for a water pipeline on the other side, it would be difficult for motorists.
