Construction at Singur site raises waterlogging fears
SINGUR/KOLKATA: Land filling work at the Singur site of the Tata Motors small car project has sparked fears of flooding in villages of the area.
The villagers gave a representation to the district administration saying that the land filling and construction of the boundary wall will tell upon the natural sewer system and flood the surroundings in case of a downpour.
Hooghly CPM leader Balai Sabui also called on state commerce and industries minister Nirupam Sen to apprise him about the possibility.
Sabui said it would be difficult to flush out water from the surrounding villages during the rains unless the government takes up excavation of the adjoining Ghiya-Kunti river basin from Mogra to Singur.
The district irrigation officials, however, did a preliminary survey of the Julkia riverbed before overhauling the drainage network. The WBIDC has recruited a private-security agency to supervise nightguards on duty.
