Kolkata | Wednesday | 27th March, 2019

Summary:

“We won’t be able to get anywhere near the breached part of the major pipeline located below the railway tracks. We have planned to go down 30 feet to get to a brick sewer line which runs parallel to the water supply line. We will then start repairing this pipe after water supply from Tallah is stopped. “We have tried to reach the pipeline that got breached a couple of days ago but failed. The supply will resume at 6.30am on Sunday,” an official said.The job at Cossipore is a huge challenge given that a section of the 60-inch diameter pipe runs directly below the railway tracks..
