Water is back in the pipelines which were closed for 20 years. Excavation was done to make connection.
Water supply from Ganga Barrage started in Jyora, Narayan Ghat after 20 years. About 30 thousand people got relief. As soon as the water supply started, water started flowing from the pipes installed in the houses and outside on the footpath. Taps were installed in many such pipes. Taps were also installed in the remaining pipes.

People were filling water from hand pump
Regional councillor Mahendra Pandey Pappu said that the water works department had laid pipelines in some parts of Jyora, Narayan Ghat and Azadnagar, but there was no water in it for the last 20 years. About 30,000 people living in these localities were forced to collect water from submersibles and hand pumps installed nearby.
This is how connection was made in the main rising pipeline of Ganga Barrage.
Whereas those localities are close to the Ganga Barrage water purification plant and this plant supplies water daily to around five lakh people of the City and South, but the localities situated around it were deprived of the facilities of this plant.
The project was made for Rs 32 lakh
The councillor said that this matter was raised many times in the Municipal Corporation House, but the problem was not resolved. Jal Nigam made a project worth 32 lakhs for water supply there. Due to high cost, this too was shelved. But the work was completed in 3 lakh rupees.
The work was completed by laying 30 meters of pipeline
After a lot of effort, the Jal Nigam and Jalkal department together laid a 30-meter line from the air valve of the main pipeline supplying water from the barrage to the city and the southern area and connected it to the old pipeline.
As soon as the barrage plant started operating in the morning, water began to be supplied to these localities through this valve and pipeline.
