Manimajra’s Muddy Waters: Rs 160 Crore Water Project Under Vigilance Scanner
A vigilance probe is underway into alleged corruption surrounding Manimajra’s 24×7 water supply project, inaugurated just last August 2024. The project, boasting a hefty Rs 160 crore price tag, has been plagued by complaints of muddy, unusable water.
This has led to widespread public discontent and prompted the investigation. Residents are questioning the quality of work and demanding accountability.
Adding to the complications, crucial records related to the project appear to be missing, significantly hampering the vigilance investigation. Officials are struggling to piece together a complete picture of the project’s execution.
The probe’s findings will be crucial in determining the extent of any financial irregularities and ensuring responsible use of public funds. The incident highlights the urgent need for greater transparency and stricter oversight in major infrastructure projects across the city and state. The lack of accountability could deter future investment in essential public services.
