ROURKELA: Another robust summer season could also be in retailer for residents of Sundargarh district because the 4 mega rural piped water initiatives protecting all its 17 blocks are shifting at a snail’s tempo. The 4 initiatives have been taken up at a mixed price of Rs 2,328 crore with the lion’s share coming from Odisha Mineral Bearing Areas Development Corporation (OMBDAC) fund and the remaining from District Mineral Foundation (DMF) fund. Rural Water Supply & Sanitation (RWSS) government engineer (EE), Sundargarh division Hemanta Barik stated a agency known as Megha Engineering is implementing the undertaking in Rajgangpur, Kutra and Hemgir blocks of Sundargarh sub-division at a price of round Rs 390 crore.

Megha Engineering had began the undertaking greater than two years again and it has been given a revised completion goal of October 2023.

The work was began one 12 months in the past with a completion goal of October 2023 at a price of round Rs 779 crore. Barik stated JMC has accomplished round 30 per cent works and should search extension. He attributed the delay to native disputes and technical points together with approval of designs and drawings.

He stated complaints raised by him are being ignored.
