CM Bhajan Lal Sharma on Thursday conducted an aerial survey of various components under the revamped Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal link project. He visited the construction sites of the under-construction Isarda Dam, the newly constructed Navnera Barrage and the Aqueduct on the Chambal River. CM Bhajan Lal Sharma reviewed the progress of work on important aqueduct for Ram Jal Setu Link Project (Modified PKC Project). He said that this will prove to be a big step towards interlinking of water projects. The project will prove to be a milestone in promoting water conservation and irrigation expansion.
After the inspection, CM Bhajan Lal Sharma gave necessary directions to the officials. He said that the works should be completed within the stipulated time frame with quality so that adequate water is available to the people in a time-bound manner. He directed to start the work of the proposed pump house near Navnera Barrage under the project at the earliest.
Sharma was informed by the officials of the Water Resources Department that through this aqueduct, the water of Ramgarh (Cool River), Mahalpur (Parvati River) and Navnera (Kalisindh River) barrages will be transferred to the Mej Barrage by crossing the Chambal River. After this, water will be transported to Bisalpur and Isarda dams through lift system. The 2280-metre long aqueduct will have one end at Pipalda Samel village in Kota and the other end at Gohata village in Bundi.
