The Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Satyendar Jain heaped praise on Delhi Jal Board and PWD officials for their "tireless" efforts in completing the repair work in South Delhi’s Hauz Khaz area in record time.
"The tireless efforts of our Delhi Jal Board officials have restored the broken water pipeline before yesterday midnight under the IIT flyover. Thereafter, our PWD officials worked round the clock and repaired the sunken road under the IIT flyover in record time," Jain tweeted.
"There was a leakage issue under the IIT flyover and the road was submerged in water and was closed for traffic causing inconvenience for the commuters. The DJB took immediate cognizance and issued a press note that water supply might be affected in the adjoining areas and water tankers will be ensured. The DJB officials then worked on war-footing, repairing the broken pipeline in less than eight hours," he said. He said that the supply was restored by midnight which was the next supply time and hence people were not affected.
The PWD then took over and worked around the clock repairing the sunken road so that it could be opened for commuters as soon as possible, he said.
