The bridge of the Burnpur Kalajharia PHE water project on the Damodar river collapsed today.
Sanchita Chatterjee, Burnpur: The state government's long-standing lack of maintenance along with illegal sand mining by the sand mafia are the main reasons for the collapse of the bridge of this water project.
This water project was the main source of drinking water supply for Asansol South Assembly.
Who will take responsibility for the water crisis that the residents of this assembly are facing due to its collapse, Honorable?
Your administration is only busy collecting the toll from the sand mafia.
And you lie from the stage that you have done 200 percent of the development work of the state.
Honorable, this lie of yours is clear as water to the people of West Bengal today.
As a public representative of Asansol South Assembly, I am demanding the immediate repair of the bridge of this water project and until that happens, an alternative water system for the residents of Asansol South Assembly.
Otherwise, we will take the path of movement along with the people.
We will not compromise even a hair on the shoulders of citizens.
