JMC initiates driveto ensure CLEANdrinking water to people

 

 

IN THE wake of the tragic incident of contaminated drinking water in Indore’s Bhagirathpura area, the Jabalpur Municipal Corporation (JMC) has intensified efforts to safeguard public health. Mayor Jagat Bahadur Singh and Municipal C o m m i s s i o n e r Ramprakash Ahirwar have directed the Water Department to ensure the supply of only clean and safe drinking water to citizens, with daily monitoring of the water supply system.

 

Following these instructions, the JMC’s Water Department has geared up and initiated pipeline repair and improvement work in all zones of the city. Areas from where complaints of dirty water or pipeline leakages were received have been specifically identified.

 

Officials have been clearly instructed that any negligence in ensuring pure drinking water will not be tolerated. Keeping the Indore incident in view, joint teams of the Health Department and Water Department have also begun collecting drinking water samples from different parts of the city. Samples are being taken from overhead tanks as well as from end-point households.

Since the incident, Forest Department team had been continuously trying to catch the leopard. Just a day earlier, the Forest Department had set a trap by tying a goat in a cage to catch the leopard, but the leopard hunted the goat and escaped.

 

On Thursday, the Forest Department again tied a goat in the cage, and this time the leopard was caught in the trap. The residents of about half a dozen villages have now breathed a sigh of relief after the capture of leopard by Forest Department.
