The Guwahati Jal Board recently stopped the JICA water supply due to the water pipeline burst incident in the Kharguli.
Digital Desk: The Guwahati Jal Board on Sunday confirmed the Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA) water supply will resume from June 5 shortly after Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) Mayor Mrigen Sarania assured the city's residents of this information.
“We are pleased to bring to the attention of our valued consumers and stakeholders that Guwahati Jal Board shall resume water supply from 5th of June, 2023 onwards as per timings mentioned here. We regret the inconvenience caused till then,” the statement from Jal Board reads.
Notably, the Guwahati Jal Board recently stopped the JICA water supply due to the water pipeline burst incident in the Kharguli area while technical specialists from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) investigated the entire infrastructure as the source of the problem. According to reports, the repair work won't begin until all tests and monitoring tasks are finished.
However, in response to the transport department's recent decision to seize private water supply vehicles, GMC Mayor Mrigen Sarania stated on Saturday that due to the severe heat wave that had gripped Guwahati city and caused a drinking water crisis, he had asked the transport department to temporarily halt their drives against the private water supply vehicles.
