Mohali, July 29
To suffice the drinking water needs of the Kharar residents, the Punjab Government has decided to provide them potable water from the Kajauli waterworks, said former minister and senior Congress leader from Kharar Jagmohan Singh Kang.
Kang said Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh had passed the Kajauli waterworks project under which Kharar city would get 5 million gallon water per day (mgd).
The Congress leader said 1 mgd will also be supplied to Morinda.
The approximate cost of the project will be around Rs 35 crore, said Kang. It will include construction of water treatment plant, construction of water tanks and pump chamber, installation of pumping machinery, laying of pipelines and building overhead service reservoirs.
An 80-mgd-capacity pipeline for supply of raw water from the Kajauli waterworks has already been laid by GMADA, Kang said, adding that water from this pipeline will be made available to Kharar and Morinda. — TNS
