GUWAHATI: A water leakage at Sambhu Ram Bora Lane in Guwahati's Lamb road has remained unattended for the past seven days, resulting in the continuous wastage of treated drinking water and causing inconvenience to local residents.
The leakage, reported in the middle of the by-lane, has led to a steady flow of water onto the road, affecting the movement of pedestrians and vehicles while raising concerns over the wastage of potable water.
Speaking with GPlus, a resident said, "The leakage has been continuing for the last seven days, and a considerable amount of water is being wasted every day. We have complained to the Jal Board authorities several times, but the issue remains unresolved. At a time when drinking water conservation is important, such wastage due to an unattended pipeline leak is a serious concern."
Speaking with GPlus, Jal Board technician Udit Sharma said that he had discussed the matter with the contractor responsible for the area and would try to get the leakage repaired by Monday, November 16.
Despite repeated complaints from residents, the leakage continues to raise questions over the delay in addressing a basic civic issue, with residents awaiting prompt intervention from the concerned authorities.
