CM vows Pavana-Nigdi water pipeline solutions

Pune | Friday | 11th January, 2019

Summary:

We propose to lay two pipelines — one for providing drinking water and another for irrigation water up to their fields. But it could not be laid in villages in Maval because of the farmers’ opposition. The farmers were opposed to the project, fearing that they would get less water from the Pavana river and the river pollution would increase.The PCMC has completed laying the pipeline in its limits. Around 80% of the 40km pipeline will pass through Maval taluka. We will stop the open canals to provide water for irrigation..
