Keeping in view the month of Ramzan, MLA Shyamkumar has commissioned a water supply scheme built at Yairipok Tulihal on trial basis.
The water supply scheme which was nearing completion was taken up at the behest of MLA Th Shyamkumar with active support of the local people.
After performing rites and rituals in accordance to Islam, Shyamkumar commissioned the water supply scheme on trial basis.
Before this, a public meeting was also held with Moulavis and religious leaders.
Speaking at the gathering, Shyamkumar said that the water supply plant has not been fully completed.
Nevertheless, supply of water has been started in view of the holy month of Ramzan so as to ameliorate the woes faced by people particularly women in fetching water.
Compound fencing of the water supply plant has not been put up nor any quarter built for chowkidar as yet.
In line with the local people's decision to commission to water supply plant before Ramzan, the plant has been commissioned on trial basis with due permission
of the Government authority, he said.
The plant would supply potable water to the people of Tulihal and the same facility would be extended to Angtha step by step, Shyamkumar said.
