Taking serious note of delay in the execution of Intake III of Sitlee Filtration Plant, Chief Secretary S.S.Kapur, today asked the executing agency to carry out the work in double shifts from Monday so as to complete the project by November 2008.
With the construction of 70 lakh gallons per day capacity Intake III of Sitlee Plant, 210 lakh gallons of additional water supply would be available for meeting the drinking water requirements of city and peripheral areas of Jammu district. The project is being executed by JKPCC.
Chief Secretary, who along with Principal Secretary PHE A.K. Angurana and Divisional Commissioner Sudhanshu Pandey, visited the site of Sitlee Filtration Plant at Nagrota today, said that government is keen to augment water supply to Jammu and peripheral areas which have been receiving water on alternate days. He was apprised that 5.4 MGD capacity new Filtration Plant would be constructed by October end, apart from completion of Central Pumping Station, from where water is supplied to Lohar and Manda for onward distribution.
Earlier, Kapur also visited Mother Grid Station at Gladni where a new ABB 150 MVA transformer received from Patna has been installed.
Chief Engineer EM&RE A.K. Koul apprised the Chief Secretary that the damaged transformers of total 400 MVA capacity have been repaired by BHEL and installation work is going on at war footing. He said that three transformers have been installed while the fourth transformer, that is a buffer transformer, would also reach Gladni soon. At present, he said that electricity is being supplied to Jammu and Kalakote from the 150 MVA transformer, received from Patna, which arrived here on August 20, adding that the peak load is being catered by the transformer.
Kapur instructed the Chief Engineer to strengthen the maintenance system of the Grid so that such problem does not arise in future. He called for sending the engineers and staff of the department to receive training in the latest maintenance procedures developed for upkeep of such heavy load grid stations. Asking the department to gear up the working system for foreseeing the future eventualities, he said that continuous monitoring should be put in place at the Grid Station. |
