Lokmat News NetworkChhatrapati Sambhajinagar:If the sources are to be believed, the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation (CSMC), is planning to collect a fine of Rs 25 lakh each from the new water supply scheme contractor and the project management consultant (PMC) as compensation for frequent damage to the old pipelines and financial loss in restoring the water supply.The new water supply scheme works valuing Rs 2740 crore is underway for the past two years. The contract has been awarded to a Hyderabad-based GVPR Co. and the Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP) is the nodal agency of the project.

The pipeline of length 12 km had been laid, so far. The contractor is digging the trench with the help of JCB. In past, while digging of the trench, the jaw of the JCB had touched the old pipeline of 1400 mm and got damaged.

Hence the CSMC had to sustain severe losses. The expense is made on repairing the damage, waste of manpower, hours and energy. Meanwhile, the municipal corporation is planning to fine the PMC as well which is preparing the detailed project report (DPR) of the new water supply scheme.Rs 25 lakh fine eachThe CSMC is planning to demand a compensation of Rs 25 lakh from the GVPR Co. and the PMC - Yash Innovation Solutions and Fortress.
