AALO, Aug 28: Aalo, the headquarters of West Siang district, has been experiencing an unprecedented water scarcity for last half a month due to blockade of main pipeline that caters potable water needs of the township. The pipeline was blocked due to accumulation of huge wild banana stems inside it by some uncaring locals of the area and aggravated by sand and silt deposits in the recent rains.
All the engineers and labourers of PHED are constantly working under the supervision of Er Toni Ete, EE to sort out the problem of water scarcity. The entire pipeline is being dismantled to clear the blockages inside the pipes and joints are being damaged or burnt to take out all debris.
The water consumers of the township have been depending on rain water or other source coming from Darka village for the last half a month. The restoration work may take time to see the full flow of water up to the water tank at Aalo. The department is hard pressed and anguished over the way the pipeline has been blocked. (DIPRO)
