West Burdwan district magistrate orders probe into illegal water connections in the district's industrial belt
The Statesman
|December 02, 2024
The District Magistrate of West Burdwan, S. Ponnambalam, has ordered an investigation into the discovery of numerous illegal water connections tapping into the main lines of the Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department, primarily in the district's industrial belt.
S. Ponnambalam stated that these widespread thefts of water from the high-pressure main pipelines of the PHE have adversely affected the Har Ghar Jal Scheme in the district, jeopardizing the goal of providing tap water to every household.
Recent surveys and search operations conducted by the PHE, with the assistance of the Asansol Durgapur Police Commissionerate (ADPC), have revealed that these illegal connections have been used for various purposes, including fish cultivation and car washing.
