In a proactive response to the ongoing underground fire and toxic gas emissions in the Kenduadih police station limits, senior officials from the Dhanbad Municipal Corporation have undertaken a thorough inspection of the water supply lines. This move aims to safeguard essential services and prevent potential disruptions for residents in the affected zones.
Commissioner Ashish Gangwar Leads On-Site Assessment
Municipal Commissioner Ashish Gangwar personally visited the fire-affected region on Thursday and Friday to assess the situation firsthand. During the inspection, the water supply lines were rigorously tested and monitored for any signs of damage or leakage. Fortunately, no immediate issues were detected, providing temporary relief to the authorities.
Contingency Plans Developed for Summer Water Supply

In anticipation of any future disruption, backup systems are being put in place to maintain regular supply."
