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.
