The underground cabling work by the electricity has hit a roadblock following damage to a pipeline, compounding the severe water scarcity already faced by Chodan's residents. The community, already grappling with a lack of drinking water, now faces the additional challenge of water wastage due to the pipeline breach.
Since yesterday, vital work in the area has been halted, with locals demanding immediate repairs to the damaged pipeline before any further progress can be made. The situation has sparked frustration among residents, who find themselves caught in a blame game between the water resources department, the electricity department, and the contracted workers.
When approached for comment, the water resources department pointed fingers at the electricity department, alleging negligence on their part. Conversely, the electricity department has refuted these claims and has shifted blame onto the contracted workers responsible for the maintenance of the pipeline.
As bureaucratic wrangling ensues, it is the people of Chodan who continue to suffer the consequences of this infrastructure failure. With no resolution in sight, the pressing need for access to clean drinking water remains unaddressed, leaving residents in a precarious situation.
Local authorities are urged to expedite the repair process and restore essential services to the community without further delay. The plight of Chodan residents underscores the critical importance of maintaining and safeguarding vital infrastructure to ensure the well-being of all citizens.
