Nagar panchayat to take over private tubewells Zirakpur, April 21 According to sources, the Zirakpur Nagar Panchayat authorities have chalked out a plan for taking over all tubewells in sunk by colonisers before the formation of the civic body. It may be recalled that dozens of colonies were developed in a haphazard manner in the area before the Punjab Government constituted a Nagar Panchayat by merging seven villages about three years ago. A numbers of property dealers and colonisers had developed various colonies in these villages and sunk tubewells for luring customers. Certain deep-bore tubewells were drawing enough water, while certain others, sources claim, have started drying up. Taking a serious view of public complaints regarding water shortage in the area, the Zirakpur Nagar Panchayat authorities have decided to take over these tubewells for ensuring better water supply in the area. Presently about eight tubewells are fulfilling the water requirement of the area. Of these eight, four have been installed in Dhakauli, Bartana, Lohgarh and Bhabhat villages by the government, while others were owned by colonisers. The President of the Zirakpur Nagar Panchayat confirmed that the proposal of taking over the tubewells owned by colonisers was under consideration. He said a meeting had been held with the colonisers on the issue. He said three tubewells owned by colonisers would be taken over by the civic body and two new ones would be sunk to ensure better water supply to the residents. A meeting of the Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage officials and the colonisers would soon be held to finalise the proposal, he said. |
