Besa road complains water shrotage
The residents of Besa-Beltarodi region adjoining Wardha Road, are in a lurch as Government and planners seems to have simply forgotten about the New Nagpur project.
The promises of a well planned city is now turning out to be a pipe dream as ground realities is giving nightmares to citizens in the area. Citizens talking to The Hitavada said Besa-Beltarodi is caught in a political divide. Though the Gram Panchayat’s income has raised almost four fold and run into crores, the citizens are deprived of basic facilities. As new colonies are coming-up the scared water, citizens are dependent on well and tube wells, are fast running out of stock.
At the peak summer time, the residents are in a fix as the wells have dried-up. Getting even drinking water is a herculean task, said Chandraprakash Menkudale, Special Executive Magistrate. Menkudale who resides in Jagananath Nagar, one of the well planned locality, has listed out plethora of problems which has besieged the so called New Nagpur. About wells, he said many of them have reached 50 feet deep but still there is no water. Menkudale has stated that Besa-Beltardo Gat Gram Panchayat is simply collecting revenue which is now risen to crores thanks to upcoming new colonies and mini townships. But the Gram Panchayat has not able to provide roads, water, drainage system, health care system. During the April month, the water supply from tanker was available for just few days, that too at interval of four to five days, giving sleepless nights to residents. In absence of water everything comes to standstill. There are two nullahs in the Besa region but they are filled with filth that has affected the water flow. This has spread stench in the adjoining colonies and even polluted the ground water sources in many wells. Though submissions were made to Sarpanch and Kamptee MLA, no permanent mode of water supply through pipelines has been worked out yet.
