The government lacks basic inter-department coordination and maintenance of blueprint of utilities which are not updated, resulting in wanton destruction of the already unsatisfactory provision of essential services.
One department does not know or take care that the other department or contractor employed is warned in advance of where the underground pipelines or cables are laid. This is nothing new and continues to happen unabated resulting in unnecessary damages and increased workload, loss of time, material and extra financial burden, not to mention resultant helpless public distress due sheer negligence!
Last year in Curti, damage to water pipe line reportedly caused due to road widening left Tiswadi with no/irregular water supply for around 10 days!
Not only is there no accountability or punishment for those responsible but it continues blatantly today! This is not only criminal but dangerous and it is high time the powerful government or the courts take suo moto notice for urgent and stringent action so this cannot happen again, if they care about justice and public interest.
