It seems that now the capital of Jharkhand Ranchi is also on the same path. This is being told not to scare you, but to alert you. Leakage of pipelines in the city has given sleepless nights to both the administration and the public.
What is the matter after all?
In fact, the network of pipes laid under the ground for water supply in Ranchi is now quite old. Pipes are leaking at many places. Now you will say, “If the pipe is leaking, it will be fixed, so what is there to be afraid of?”
The thing to fear is that when a pipe bursts under the ground, the strong flow of water washes away the surrounding soil. From above the road or house look shiny, but below the ground is completely “Hollow” (Hollow) is done. Due to this, accidents like sudden road collapse or vehicles getting stuck in pits occur. In technical language it is also called fear of ‘sinkhole’.
Supply stopped in 321 areas
The latest update is that due to malfunction in many main pipes of the city, almost 321 neighborhoods Water supply has been affected. These are the areas which are dependent on Booti Reservoir or other main lines. Thousands of people have become dependent on tankers or boring for drinking water.
Why fear of land subsidence?
Reports are saying that in some areas, due to pipe burst, such a huge gap has been created under the ground that the traffic moving above or the houses built above is in danger. The administration is afraid of some untoward incident like Indore, hence the repair work is being started on a war footing.
our advice
If you live in the affected areas of Ranchi, and you see moisture on the road near your house, or see water seeping, do not ignore it. This may not just be a sign of wastage of water, but of a pit forming below. Immediately inform the Municipal Corporation or the concerned department.
For now, it is expected that the department will soon fix these leakages and save the city from both thirst and danger. Be alert!
