21 Dec 2023 CW Team

By May 2024, the purified drinking water pipeline is expected to extend to all 22,000 households across the 20 wards of the Alipurduar Municipality. During a government distribution program on December 10, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, at the parade ground in Alipurduar, announced that every household in the municipality would have access to drinking water by 2024.

Prasenjit Kar, Chairman of Alipurduar Municipality, explained, "The entire municipal area has been divided into 5 zones. Tender work orders for three zones have already been completed, and the tender process for the last two zones will be finished by the first week of January 2024. We anticipate that the work will be completed on schedule."

Initiated in 2018, the efforts to provide purified drinking water to every household faced delays in the Rs 1.02 billion project cost due to the COVID-19 situation. The construction of a large water reservoir near Radha Madhab temple at Ward 4 in Alipurduar has been completed as part of the project.

The installation of water pipelines is progressing gradually in several wards, with the main pipeline expected to be completed in all wards by April 2024. In the final phase, branch lines from the main pipeline will extend into each house. Utilising the Nonai River, located next to the city, as the water source, water will be drawn, purified, and collected in the main reservoir before being piped to each house as purified drinking water.
