News India Live, Digital Desk: Water line burst due to landslide: On Saturday, a serious crisis arose over drinking water in Dhanbad district of Jharkhand. About three lakh people will not get water due to the explosion of the main line of Jamunia Drinking Water Supply Project. This problem has arisen due to landslides caused by underground fire, where the earth collapsed dangerously, which damaged the important pipeline of drinking water.
The main supply of water has been disrupted by this incident near Putki. This is the second time when the pipeline is torn at this place in November 2024, which indicates the increasing threat of underground fire in the area and highlights its destructive effects on the infrastructure.
According to the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, the work of repairing the pipeline has been started, but it is expected to take a full day. Due to this, water supply in large parts of Dhanbad city will be completely closed today. Due to this unexpected crisis, serious challenges related to daily life have arisen in front of the large population of Dhanbad. The non -availability of water has affected from homes to small businesses.
Underground coal mines and fire in the region have been a major problem for decades, causing the incidents of land collapse. Repeated bursting of the pipeline is a clear indication of how big the basic services of the city are in danger. The phenomenon once again exposes the old problem of the region – landslides caused by underground fire and infrastructural problems arising from it, which requires immediate and long -term solutions. People are being forced to arrange water from tankers and alternative sources.
