BOLENG, Oct 3: Pangin MLA Ojing Tasing on Friday visited the water supply project for Boleng township along with PHE&WS engineers of Pangin PHE&WS Division.
Expressing serious concern over the water crisis in Boleng township due to growing population, the MLA requested the department engineers and contractor to complete the project by December 2020 to mitigate the water supply problem.
Tasing was accompanied by Tapang Tamut, Siang District BJP president and public leaders of his constituency.
It is worth mentioning here that the water supply project for Boleng township was sanctioned during 2013 for an estimated Rs. 7.5 crores under NLCPR by Ministry of DoNER. It has stopped funding during 2015 after releasing first instalment of Rs. 3 crores.
Even without the payment from the department concern, the contractor is continuously working and has almost completed 75 percent of civil works.
With the initiative of the local MLA, the state government sanctioned the balance amount of Rs 4.5 crores under BE during 2019-20.
