Madhya Pradesh: Cloud Over Shifting Irrigation Project Pipes In Bhikangaon

Bhikangaon (Madhya Pradesh): Hundreds of pipes meant for Binjalwada Lift Irrigation project were found being loaded onto a truck from the installation location on Monday, raising suspicion.

BJP Mandal president Sevak Ram Birla arrived at the scene to investigate after receiving reports of unusual activity. Upon his arrival, the truck driver and his companions fled, leaving behind the vehicle and the loaded pipes.

The incident took place between the villages of Poi and Sagur Bhagur, where the pipes had been stored for over a month. Due to the area's low population, the loading was being done discreetly. Birla, noticing the irregularities, immediately informed the local administration.

Pipes stored 10kms away from site, raises suspicion

Youth leader Manoj Birla raised questions about the decision to store the pipes 10 km away from the project site.

BJP Mandal president Sevak has lodged complaints with SDM Akanksha Agarwal, police officials and the CM. The police have initiated a search for the absconding driver and his companions.

Raghu Karmila, project manager, claimed that pipes belonged to the company and were being moved legally. However, the driver’s sudden flight raises doubts about this explanation.
