SHILLONG: NCP legislator Satto R Marak has expressed concern over the irregular water supply in Baghmara due to frequent disruption of the water pump.

“As per information, the water pump has been repaired at least ten times in the past. In fact, it takes two to four months to repair the pump. But sadly once repaired the pump works for only a week after it is repaired,” Marak said during Question Hour in the Assembly on Monday.

He also said that the people were suffering tremendously due to this irregular supply of drinking water.

In his reply, PHE Minister Shitlang Pale said that Rs 50.09 lakh has been spent till date which includes the actual amount sanctioned and additional amount for maintenance. Leader of Opposition, Conrad K Sangma while participating in the discussion said that Baghmara water pump which was sanctioned in 1987 has outlived its lifespan of 15 years.
