On June 30 the Boriyapura Feeder Pipe Line was interconnected at 2 locations. Though, Nagpur Municipal Corporation and Orange City Water (OCW) had announced 24 Hrs. shutdown of Boriyapura Feeder Main, however with its technical expertise NMC-OCW completed all technical work in 12-hours only.

NMC-OCW had announced a 24 hour shut down interconnection work. Considering the quantum of work involved in the repair the time was fairly estimated. But with the technical expertise that OCW possesses and with the thoughtful efforts of OCW’s team work completed in duration of 12 hours, just like the pipeline laying work.

It was estimated that the 600 mm dia pipeline laying work on the Craddok Road will require almost 12 months to complete, however under the leadership of OCW CEO Mr Sanjoy Roy, OCW team put up its hard efforts FOR almost 11 months and laid 600 mm dia MS pipeline that is passing from Motibagh RuB, to Pahalwan Square, Monimpura Square, Gupta Atta Chakki, Timki to Golibaar Square and that too 1.5 meter (6 feet) below ground level.
