Pulwama, 13-Nov;It has been almost four years since Public Health Engineering (PHE) department Pulwama abandoned a water tank located in the Renzipora area here.According to locals, the water tank, which was constructed more than a decade ago by the government, would supply water to many areas of the town but after 2014 floods the water tank was abandoned by the PHE Department. Locals said that many of the residential houses have suffered damages now due to the persistent leakage of the water tank, adding that almost 30 per cent of water is getting waste every day but the concerned authorities don’t bother to look into the matter We have knocked the doors of concerned department several times requesting them to ensure restoration of water tank but to no avail,” they added.An employee, speaking on condition of anonymity, told that the department may have to bear the cost of around Rs 4 lakh to meet the tank’s leakage. Engineer Jal Shakti Pulwama was contacted by a local resident Mr. Farid and he showed his engagements for two consecutive days.(CNS)
