Peeved at the frequent disruption of low power voltage and water
scarcity, residents of Balangir town on Monday had given a 72-hour ultimatum to
the district administration, failing which, they warned that the administration
would be held responsible for any steps they would resort to.
A meeting attended by representatives of the
Citizens’ Committee, the Chamber of Commerce and other sections of people and
media, denounced the apathy shown by the district administration towards the
water and power crisis in the town.
“We condemn the apathy of the district
administration towards the crucial problems of water shortage and power crisis.
The meeting decided to give 72 hours to the administration to take steps to
solve the problems, failing which the administration will be held responsible
for any incident,” said advocate Pramod Mishra.
“The problems of electricity and water
shortage have been arising with the onset of summer season each year. There
should be a permanent solution to the problems,” said Samajwadi Party’s
Balangir district unit president Arun Mishra.

Apparently worried over the move taken by the residents of
Balangir town, local MLA and former Minister AU Singh Deo highlighted the steps
taken by him in solving the water crisis of the district through a Press
release.
In the release the local MLA said that at his initiative,
a proposal involving a cost of Rs 55 crore has been approved to bring water to
the town from river Tel near Tarbha in Subarnapur district. For this, tender
has already been invited.
Moreover, to provide water to people, a total of 21
tankers have been pressed into service, the Press release added.
Besides these steps, tenders have been invited for
construction of three overhead tanks at Rameshwar Nagar, Tulsi Nagar and
Malpada to streamline water supply in the places with water scarcity, the Press
release stated further.
