PHED, IVRCL likely to be pulled up by RMC
The Hyderabad based infrastructure company, IVRCL along with PHED have been called for a meeting on May 31 to inform the Deputy Mayor and ward councillors about the progress made on the water pipeline projects under Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).
“They are the agencies who are responsible for constructing water pipelines in Ranchi so we have called them to tell us their achievement so far,” said Deputy Mayor RMC, Sanjeev Vijayvargiya.
Incidentally, the IVRCL was also pulled up by Government for shoddy performances in the past. “So much money has gone down the drain and nothing happened. Where is the pipeline and where is the water if so much has been spent on the project,” said Vijayvargiya.
The State Government has given around Rs228 crore for water pipeline project however the project is far from being completed. Almost Rs120 crore has been spent on the project.
The PHED will be asked to explain the reason behind poor water supply in Ranchi in May 31 meeting. “There is no water in main road, no supply near Kanta Toli and they say that water is being supplied everywhere,” added Vijayvargiya.
