NIT Assessment Finds 19 Ludhiana Water Reservoirs Require Reconstruction, Affecting 24x7 Supply Project
Ludhiana's 24x7 surface water supply project faces delays after a National Institute of Technology (NIT), Jalandhar assessment found 19 existing overhead water reservoirs unfit for repair, requiring demolition and reconstruction. The World Bank-funded initiative plans 70 new reservoirs and rehabilitation of 66 others. The findings raise concerns about project planning and coordination, especially where pipelines are already installed. Financial impacts and timeline changes remain uncertain as authorities consider next steps to avoid further delays.
