OUR STAFF REPORTER Indore Water supply in the city restored after two days of repairs in Narmada trunk line near village Medgaon.
According to sources, the trunk line had developed a leak two days ago. The authorities scrambled to repair t
he leakage while residents of both the eastern and western areas had to manage without water for the two days. The Indore Municipal Corporation ( IMC), however, claimed that water supply in these areas was maintained by using more than 100 tankers.
Sources further said that the repair work was completed late on Saturday night and water supply was restored and overhead water tanks were filled during the night to resume supply on Sunday morning.
MY Hospital had suffered the most and as many as dozen water tankers were pressed into service to supply water to the hospital. Meanwhile, the delayed monsoon is giving jitters to the administration and citizens alike. According to the metrological department, monsoon is weak and only light showers could be expected for couple of days. While the region is awaiting the monsoon to set so that lakes could be filled up and farmers could go ahead with sowing crops, other parts of the state have experienced heavy rains
Road condition deteriorates
Even mild showers of last few days have caused the asphalt roads to break up creating huge craters and poodles causing accidents. The asphalt roads in Siyaganj, Ranipura, Railway Station, Bhamori, MY Road etc have developed huge craters and water has logged in many places. Although the IMC had done the patch work before the rainy season, the quality of work was so poor that it could not sustain mild showers.
