The Story in Brief
Chandigarh mayor Saurabh Joshi on Saturday inaugurated a Rs 63.7 lakh project to replace an ageing water pipeline in Cheap House, Sector 24-C. Hindustan Times reports the old cast iron pipe (CI) will be replaced with ductile iron (DI), and the alignment will shift from rear courtyards to the front side for easier inspection and repair.
The project includes 1,033 metres of 100-mm DI K-7 pipeline and 449 metres of 150-mm DI K-7 pipeline, along with six DI sluice valves and other fittings. Joshi said strengthening basic civic infrastructure is a top priority for the municipal corporation.
The Indian Opinion
Such ribbon-cutting ceremonies for routine maintenance rarely deserve headlines. A pipeline relaid from rear to front is common sense, not visionary governance. The real test is whether residents in Sector 24-C get uninterrupted supply after the work, or if leakages and poor pressure persist. Watch for completion timelines and post-project complaints, numbers, not photo ops, reveal the truth.
