Jammu, Oct 6:It is well aware of the facts that recently after getting highlighting of various kinds of Scams in JJM in Jammu and Kashmir by National level by political leaders , ACS Jal SHakti Shaleen Kabra in a press conference clarified some issues especially on the quality of HDPE Pipes in JJM schemes.
But, his statements on using HDPE Pipes in JJM schemes has been countered by Contractors Union in open Press Confrence by saying that HDPE pipes are neither in approved DPRs & nor is an item in the SSR.
They further added that department is saying that HDPE PIPES are fire proof but it is again not the truth, come & see it will catch fire.
Contractors added that when these pipes to be laid in hilly area or in forests & due to hard rocks, dept will not able to dig the areas as per required depth to put the pipes in place & be laid on ground level, which will burn during forest fires & can be punctured by near ones as per their needs to make water leakage.
They quest Department that around 300 number of overhead tanks were allotted but only 50 completed & other become failures due to various reasons & so it is being planned for direct boosting of water from tube wells.
They said that if direct boosting process to be adopted shall be a biggest failure of JJM, which is planning for "NAR GHAR NAL HAR GHAR JAL" , boosting shall be failure, as will work when power is on but what department will do if power is off for hours, how water supply will be carried on & it is open violations of guidelines of Centre Water Commission.
