The City Diary

Court refuses to stop pipeline work

The high court on Thursday refused to restrain the city civic body from implementing a “public beneficiary project” of laying a pipe between the Palta water treatment plant and the Tallah tank. The 22.3km pipe, to be laid under BT Road at a cost of Rs 30.5 crore, will boost the water distribution network of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation. Two traders, whose establishments are on BT Road, sought a “restraining order” from the court on the ground that the pipe-laying work would affect their businesses.
