LIKABALI : A team from the Public Health Engineering and Water Supply (PHE&WS) Department on Sunday inspected flood-damaged water supply systems at Tene Camp and Tene village in Lower Siang district following the recent cloudburst at Upper Ramle Banggo.

The inspection team, led by Likabali Executive Engineer Binga Gara, accompanied by Koyu Junior Engineer Mikshep Kadu and field staff, was initially scheduled to assess the damaged water supply infrastructure at Koyu Headquarters. However, the team could not reach the area due to a road blockade between Tene Camp and Kakki Village.

The officials subsequently visited Tene Camp and Tene Village, where they inspected the damaged water supply systems and interacted with affected residents to assess the extent of the damage and understand their immediate requirements.

During the visit, the team also distributed grocery items to flood-affected families as a gesture of support.

The field inspection enabled the department to assess the impact of the recent natural calamity on water supply infrastructure and the difficulties being faced by the affected communities.

The department is expected to carry out a detailed assessment and initiate restoration measures once road connectivity to the affected areas is restored. (DIPR)
