As a threat is looming large over the stability of the geo synthetic tube seawall following miscreants torched high tensile ropes used in the gabion boxes, a high level team on Friday paid a visit to the site and inspected the sea wall.
The team comprising Engineer-in-Chief of Water Resource Department Akshya Kumar Banarjee, Chief Engineer (Flood Control) Jugal Kishore Pattnaik, Cheif Engineer (drainage) Jyoti Rath, Chief Engineer (designs) Pradip Mohanty, Chief Construction Engineer Rengali project, Susant Kumar Rath, Superintending Engineer Chandikhol, Chandeswar Behera and senior officials of Aul Saline Embankment visited Pentha and inspected the wall. The high level team discussed with the locals about the geo synthetic sea wall and also came to know about the damage of the structure.
It is the responsibility of the locals to protect and preserve the sea wall that was laid on the coast to save the life and property of village . But such act of damaging the geo-synthetic sea wall ,which is purely intentional and man-made , in regular intervals would spell dooms for the sea side villages in future, Engineer –in-Chief Banarjee told.
