Doda: The Jal Shakti (PHE) Department has assured that efforts are underway to address the non-functionality of the Water Supply Scheme (WSS) at Bellaru Chakrabhati, which serves the villages of Dabda and Gwari in Panchayat Bellaru.
According to the department, the project had faced several challenges that caused delays. The construction of the gravity main pipeline was earlier halted due to unforeseen circumstances, and portions of the pipeline were damaged, further complicating progress. These issues, along with logistical challenges during testing and commissioning, resulted in significant delays.
However, the department has confirmed that repair work is in progress and testing activities are being actively carried out. Officials have assured that the water supply system is expected to be functional within the next 10 to 15 days, subject to the successful completion of repairs and testing.
The Jal Shakti Department reiterated its commitment to ensuring the successful implementation of the scheme and resolving the water crisis in Dabda and Gwari at the earliest.
