MUMBAI: Bombay high court is slated to hear on Friday will hear a public interest litigation for direction to the State government to complete its scheme to supply water through pipelines to 69 villages in Vasai and Virar municipal areas.
A division bench of Justice Dhananjay Chandrachud and Justice Suresh Gupte will hear a petition filed by corporator Rajkumar Chorghe saying with the drought situation this year if water supply is not started immediately it will lead to an extreme situation where grave injury will be caused to life and property.''
His petition said following the January 15, 2008 government resolution issued by the Water Supply and Sanitation Department, work orders were issued to complete the Vasai-Virar sub regional water supply scheme within 18 months. The government sanctioned Rs 85.16 lakhs for the scheme and it was decided that 10 percent of this amount would borne by Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran to be recovered by way of tax. The petition said while work should have be completed by December 31, 2010 but companies executing the task sought extension of time. The petitioner states that in spite of this, the said companies have failed to complete the job of laying and connecting the pipe line for water supply,'' it said, adding that if water is available in dams it should be made available to the public.
Chorghe 's petition said since the last few years there is a huge increase in the population in the Vasai-Virar municipal corporation areas and also in the adjacent village which has resulted in a strain on the natural resources in the region. It added that in some areas the situation is so bad that women from villages have to walk miles to fetch water . On April 22, 2013 the court judges issued notice to the Pradhikaran to file its reply.
