SDO Girin Borah Acknowledges Water Safety Issues: Swift Corrective Action Promised

In a notable development of the ongoing Har Ghar Jal Yojana, also known as the JJM scheme, in Karbi Anglong, concerns arise over the retrofitting scheme in Thijoklangso under the Duar Bagori constituency. Despite the program's flagship status under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, recent findings reveal significant anomalies in this specific area.

Allegations point towards a lack of fairness by the contractor in delivering the intended benefits to the beneficiaries. The water supplied through the scheme, designed to be potable, is reportedly not meeting the specified standards. Shockingly, the Public Health Engineering (PHE) department is providing untreated water to villagers, posing a substantial risk of waterborne diseases.

During a telephonic discussion, SDO Girin Borah responded candidly to inquiries about the potability of the water supply. He explicitly stated that the water is not deemed safe for consumption, highlighting an elevated risk of individuals contracting ailments such as diarrhea and other waterborne diseases. While gravity schemes typically mitigate chemical contamination, Borah stressed that direct water transmission necessitates effective filtration to ensure the safety of the water being supplied.

SDO Borah, in response to the matter, has assured the public that corrective measures will be implemented within a 20-day timeframe. He pledged to address all concerns promptly and emphasized his commitment to ensuring that the contractor adheres to the promised standards outlined in the work order. The community is hopeful that these assurances will lead to the swift resolution of the issues plaguing the water supply scheme in Thijoklangso.
