area in Balrampur. Continuous water leakage along roads and beside residential houses has triggered growing anger among local residents, while videos of the situation are rapidly circulating on social media, raising major concerns over the quality of the project.
According to residents, they repeatedly warned workers and the executing agency about potential problems during the excavation and pipeline installation process. However, their concerns were allegedly ignored. Locals claim that the agency responsible for implementing the Jal Jeevan Mission failed to carry out the work in accordance with prescribed standards, resulting in water seeping from multiple locations.
Water has been flowing continuously near several houses in the locality, creating significant inconvenience for residents. The leakage has spread across the road, leading to muddy and slippery conditions that are causing safety concerns. Residents also fear that if the seepage continues unchecked, the roads could soon suffer severe damage, particularly because they were already excavated to lay the pipeline.
People living in the area have warned that persistent leakage may make movement increasingly difficult in the coming days. The viral videos are being seen as exposing serious flaws in both the quality of the construction work and the monitoring system associated with the Jal Jeevan Mission.
Residents have urged the Administration to conduct an immediate investigation, resolve the problem without delay, and take strict action against those found responsible. The incident has intensified questions over the execution and supervision of one of the government's flagship drinking water schemes, highlighting the urgent need for accountability and quality control in public infrastructure projects.
