Krishna water may be delayed
The much awaited second installment of 45 MGD of Krishna water to the city that was expected by June end may be delayed by a few weeks as hard rocks between Barkas and Prashasan Nagar is delaying the laying of pipeline work. The Water Board officials say that the residents are wary of blasting of the rock as it may weaken the structures in the vicinity but officials say that enough precautions would be taken.
When operational, water will be provided to areas like Darulshifa, Azampura, Bahadurpura and Bandlaguda
The much awaited second installment of 45 MGD of Krishna water to the city that was expected by June end may be delayed by a few weeks as hard rocks between Barkas and Prashasan Nagar is delaying the laying of pipeline work. The Water Board officials say that the residents are wary of blasting of the rock as it may weaken the structures in the vicinity but officials say that enough precautions would be taken.
Work on the major part of the 19.3 km long pipeline has been completed but 2.3 km stretch is saddled with hard rock that is causing the delay. Out of the 45 MGD Krishna water, about 5 MGD would be supplied to areas in Old City that include Darulshifa, Azampura, Bahadurpura, Bandlaguda and other areas.
The Water Board officials say that they plan to complete the work between Barkas and Mailardevpally reservoir by the first week of July provided all the excavation work goes as per schedule.
