PALASBARI: A wall of the water supply centre under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) collapsed before its inauguration at Rani under Palasbari LAC on Friday.
According to sources, the foundation stone of the water supply centre was laid on August 27 in 2023 by West Guwahati MLA Ramendra Narayan Kalita. Local people alleged that the contractor in charge used poor-quality stone, sand and cement in the construction work. There are also allegations that coil was used instead of rods in the construction work. The residents of the area demanded a high-level investigation into the incident against the contractor and the departmental engineer who supervised the construction work.
