Jamshedpur, May 16: East Singhbhum deputy commissioner Vijaya Jadhav directed a raiding team to seize water pump motors to address low pressure of water supply in low-lying areas in Mango.

At a meeting to review situation of water crisis in Gurdwara Basti, Sankosai and Sukhna Basti etc. under Mango Municipal Corporation,  it came to light in the meeting that during water supply, many people use motors illegally, due to which there is difficulty in water supply in low-lying areas. Taking serious cognizance of this by the Deputy Commissioner, a raiding team was formed to seize motor pumps immediately and strict instructions were given to identify such people and seize at least 50 motors daily.

It was also decided to construct a 60 MLD water treatment plant in view of the increasing nature of the population in Mango and requirement of water in the next 30 years.

Executive engineer drinking water and sanitation was directed to provide the proposal for additional DPR of Urban Water Supply within 15 days. Along with this, the probationary executive officer was directed to run a regular campaign to remove encroachment from the road from Mango Chowk to Dimna Chowk.

For the residents of Mango to get uninterrupted water supply, it is necessary that they have a water connection. The Deputy Commissioner instructed to set up camps in different areas for the next 8 days to take applications for water connections. On May 17, a water connection camp will be organized at Sankosai JP School under the supervision of city manager Rahul Kumar and probationary office bearer Chandan Kumar at Khadia Basti Community Hall and city manager Jitendra Kumar at Pardih Chowk.

The Deputy Commissioner said that by taking a valid connection, the administration will also know that how many people are getting water and how many people are actually being deprived.

The documents required for taking water connection include, BPL certificate,  Aadhaar, residential certificate and holding paper.
