An overhead water tank built to serve roughly 5,000 residents across four villages has leaked since it was completed around 2020; water supply was halted within about six months due to worsening leakage, and even after partial repairs roughly two years later, residents say "leakage in the tank continues," with water accumulating in village lanes.
On record
The official record states: "The Water Corporation's Executive Engineer attributed the problem to "certain technical deficiencies" and promised resolution via a fresh contractor tender."
Filed as "Under repeat repair — leaking since inception" and dated to Built 2018-2020, this entry sits under the "Crores of rupees (exact figure not specified)" line of the public accounts.
What to expect
- A ribbon-cutting photograph that aged faster than the structure.
- Maintenance records that exist in principle.
- A budget line that grew with the confidence of the project itself.
- A file number that outlived several transfer postings.

“Found it exactly where the internet said it would be, disappointingly intact. The only thing on schedule here was the mobilisation advance.”
“Wandered up from the other next door, which was also unfinished. It is a masterclass in beginning and nothing else.”
“Came here on a heritage walk that had clearly lost the plot. Every monsoon it reapplies to be rebuilt.”
