Our office is being reported that the residents of Netaji Nagar, Tollygunge are facing acute water problem these days. Actually KMC water has earlier been pumped from Rani Kuthi pumping station to an overhead tank near Netaji Nagar Girls' College. But KMC took a decision to demolish the tank in this summer season. Here councillor is of CPM so he shows his helplessness. Now residents are getting supply water directly from Rani Kuthi but due to low pressure inadequate supply of water is available and all the residents are purchasing water tanks often. The situation became more grim due to prevailing corruption in KMC. Bigger ferules, connections from lower part of supply tubes and fitting of water pumps directly in the pump has become very common. These are being done in connivance with the KMC officials and Councillor. Licences are issued to the plumbers of their choice.
We have decided to go for signature campaign from the citizens.You are aware that that Trinamool administration is going for postponement of election in many municipalities around Kolkata corporation.
As a result of which administrators are being appointed. But Law doesn't permit Adminstrator to take any major policy decision. So the citizens of that area will have face the problem till the votes in adjoining municipalities are being done. Only when New head of Kolkata corporation in 2015 can only take any decision.
If the problem inside Kolkata is like that,people can understand what the problem of Ukhra is facing.Ukhra Gram panchayat is given grant by Eastern Coal Fields Limited for ensuring water supply in that area. But gram Panchayat is not working probably because they have voted against TMC government & voted for Bharatiya Janata party.
This is the leaflet local BJP leaders are distributing there,
How long people of Bengal will suffer water crisis.Be it In heart of Kolkata Ranikuthi or in Distant Ukhra of Asansole?
TMC Administration will have to react now.
