Jodhpur : In the matter of continuous filling of sewerage water in Jodhpur Kharbuja Stepwell, the residents of the area have now written a letter to Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma requesting him to complete the construction of the incomplete drain here. The residents of the area have written in the letter that Nenchi Bagh in Sursagar area The drain which was to be built from 15 months to Kabir Nagar is incomplete even after two and a half years. Due to this, sewerage water is now filling the Kharuja stepwell. Due to this, this ancient stepwell is in poor condition.
Neither utility shift nor permission received from Railways
If we look at the present situation of the spot, neither the work of utility shifting has been completed nor has permission been given to remove the drain from under the railway line. In such a situation, people are suffering the pain of broken roads at many places and the accumulation of dirty water in the surrounding areas. Jodhpur Development Authority had started the drain work from Kharbuja stepwell to Bhairav drain with a cost of Rs. 7.52 crores one and a half year ago, but this work is still incomplete.
Railway permission required
According to JDA XEN CP Deora, permission of Railways is necessary for the construction of this drain. The middle 250 meter patch belongs to the Railways. Railway’s permission is being sought for construction here. Due to lack of permission, the construction work of the drain here is stuck. Due to this, all the sewerage water is filling the Kharuja stepwell. Due to this, the people living nearby are facing a lot of trouble.
