Bomdila water supply project opened

By The Assam Tribune

ITANAGAR, Nov 29 � The usually water deficit Bomdila township in West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh has got a new surge of life with the operationalisation of the water supply project and subsequent inauguration of the water treatment plant by Chief Minister Nabum Tuki recently.

Acknowledging the hard labour put in and the tremendous pressure faced for timely completion of the project by PHE Bomdila with the constant monitoring by technocrats in the last six years, Tuki appreciated the engineers and the staff for their dedication and accountability who were instrumental in completion of the project, official sources said.

An amount of Rs 1709.23 lakh was sanctioned under NLCPR (Non-lapsable Central pool of resources) by DoNER during March 2005 and Rs 398.50 lakh as Gap funding under SPA (Special Plan Assistance) by the State Government in 2010-11 for the said project, sources said.

The source of the project lies in the deep jungles of Banglejap near Mandala Phudung in the district located at an altitude of 10,000 ft and 40 km away from the township. � PTI
