CCpur, April 29 2019:
Churachandpur PHE Div, PHED, refuted the claimed that water supply scheme at Dampi village has failed to provide water.
A press release issued by the Executive Engineer of Churachandpur PHE Div stated that the said scheme was constructed under NLCPR and commissioned in March 2015 with a designed capacity of 315 KLD, and provided safe drinking water to the surrounding villages.
However, due to deforestation at the catchment area, depletion of water at source was encountered and leads to insufficient supply of water (only about 60-70 KLD) during lean period, the EE said and assured that the supply will be extended to other areas once sufficient water is received from source.
