Municipal commissioner Vikram Kumar said, “The main intention of the scheme was to stop leakages and provide equal water distribution across the city. Though the scheme got delayed, we are expecting that by February 2024, the project will be complete.”

“The main challenge was to lay the water pipelines on 1,800 km of roads. Another challenge was to acquire land for the project,” he said.
