CHANDRAPUR: With no prospects of deepening and cleaning of Irai River this year, the settlements along the river bank in city face the threat of flooding during the monsoon. The irrigation department had stopped the river’s rejuvenation work — started on April 4 — for lack of funds, within a week of its launch.
Former MP and senior Congress leader Naresh Puglia blamed the guardian minister and district administration for stoppage of rejuvenation work and said he will file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) with the high court over the issue on Friday.
