Manimajra Water Woes: Vigilance Probe, HRC Scrutiny
The Manimajra Municipal Corporation (MC) is facing a multi-pronged investigation into its water supply project. The Vigilance Department has launched a probe, citing incomplete records submitted by the MC Chief Engineer.
This follows complaints from residents regarding the water quality, further fueled by allegations from a local BJP leader. The Human Rights Commission (HRC) has taken cognisance of these concerns and is demanding detailed reports.
The MC maintains that water quality tests consistently meet standards. They attribute current supply disruptions to ongoing pipeline work, claiming these are temporary setbacks.
However, the HRC’s intervention underscores the seriousness of the situation. Further reports are awaited, with the investigation likely to shed light on the project’s transparency and the effectiveness of the MC’s response to public grievances. This case highlights the urgent need for robust oversight of public infrastructure projects in the city, ensuring accountability and transparency in service delivery.
