With the temperatures recording all time high
and drought like situation in most part of the country it becomes increasingly
important to be prudent about the resources and plan supply that can contain
the resource and its usage in prudent manner.
The Visit to the Thumbe Dam along with Shri. J.R. Lobo (MLA Mangalore City South ) is
important as it will get the corporation and the officials plan and gear up to
ensure #Drinkingwater supply to the regions that are primarily dependent from
the dam. On a normal day 160 MLD (million litres a day) of water is being
pumped to the city from Thumbe dam.
of which 40 MLD is consumed by the industries. As a measure water supply to the
industries would be marginalized and water for drinking would be prioritized.,
as a standby measure 60 water tankers have been inducted to supply water to
surrounding areas where there is scarcity of water.
With the existing storage expected to last for
only 10 days. The decision post review meeting was to lift water from other
sources such as Wells an tanks. Overall it’s a collective effort and the MLA
has the approval from the State Urban Development Ministry to exercise veto
power to take
emergency decisions in case of urgency relating to water supply. It included
taking decisions on drilling borewells or energising the existing ones.
Sir, in Ward 16 Mangalore city corporation the water supply is stopped completely since 16.04.2016. Water is supplied through tankers once in 5 days which is not sufficient for a days requirement. there are nearly 700 houses in the ward. Now that the water level has increased in Thumbe will you please intervene in the matter personally and arrange for supply of tap water atleast once in 4 days?
ReplyDeleteSir, all our efforts to reach the Mangalore City Corporation through Janahitha could not yield success and the same is not registering complaints from us. I think in view of frequent reminders they have blocked our IP address. Sir, is this is the type of redressal thro on line? We also brought the same to the notice of DK Deputy Commissioner through website and there is no response except that the representation is forwarded to subordinate office.Will you please help to restore water supply? Our Complaint in PG Portal GOVKN/E/2016/00155
