Parallel Jayakwadi dam-Sambhajinagar pipeline to become functional in mid-Feb: Union minister

The newly-laid water pipeline from Jayakwadi dam to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city in Maharashtra will become operational mid-February next year, Union minister Bhagwat Karad said on Tuesday. He said citizens would get water supply once in four days instead of the current seven days after the new 900-mm radius pipeline becomes operational. ”The new pipeline laid parallel to the old one will be operational from February 14 next year. There is an issue with pumps and they are now being procured,” the Minister of State for Finance told reporters after attending a review meeting.
