Government officials ignorant about the Rs.9 crore pipeline project
Gurgaon- A pipeline worth Rs. 9 crore which was laid down along Sohna Road eight years ago has simply led to a wastage of the public money. The water pipeline is 8.5-km-long and was laid for the supply of water to the private colonies and is yet to be operational.
Shockingly, the higher officials in the city declared recently that they are not aware of any such pipeline project worth Rs. 9 crore within the city.
According to SS Dhillon, principal secretary, town and country planning department, Haryana, they had no idea about this project and that they cannot comment about it being non operational for a span of eight years.
This project which has surprisingly popped up was completed by the Haryana Urban Development Authority (Huda) in 2004 and has gave a message that the project was fraudulently authorized by some officials along with a contractor.
However, it was stated that prior to the pipeline becoming operational, a portion of the constructed pipeline went missing. When the reason about the delay in the pipeline being operational was asked the HUDA chief engineer stated that he will comment anything about the delay and that the pipeline is now completed, it will be operational shortly.
Last year, it was stated by the RTI that HUDA had quoted about the new pipeline of a larger diameter being laid down in the place of an old one. The city has maximum number of private colonies who are dependent on the ground water whereas few developers who sought water connection in the year 2004-05 had alternative lines for water supply.
According to Subhash Raghav, assistant general manager, HUDA had given them a water connection from Sector 47/51 side rather than Sohna Road side fulfilling their water need temporarily. However, they are still awaiting the completion of the pipeline project situated on the Sohna Road.
