No water supply to K’jhar town for 2 days

Wednesday, 31 March 2021 | PNS | KEONJHAR

There is no water supply to Keonjhar town for consecutive two days which is said to be a failure of the electricity department.

Due to disruption in supply of electricity to the Kanjari irrigation project from which water is pumped out for supply to the town, the problem has cropped up.

Over the past few years, the residents of the town have been complaining against frequent and unscheduled power cuts by Nesco, Keonjhar but it was of no result, alleged the local people. And, during summer, erratic power supply adds to their woes further, they complained.

Sources close to the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), Keonjhar revealed that earlier when water supply was affected by the erratic power cut, it was immediately brought to the notice of the Nesco authority to fix the problem, but this time, the situation went out of control for some major problems in power supply.

PHED, Keonjhar SDO Manoj Kumar Panda revealed that after the disruption in power supply, he had to run several times to the Nesco office with request to the SE, Nesco for early resumption of power.

He however said the power was supplied on Tuesday in the afternoon and now, water would be available to the consumers by mid-night. He further added that steps should be taken for uninterrupted power supply to the sensitive sector.
