Risks in the middle of a high traffic, leak from the Pipeline Waterlogs Road again | Bopal News

Bopal: A chronic infrastructure challenge has influenced Kamla Park Road since pandemic, in which a large water pipeline often develops leaks and influences and intensifies the flow of traffic, traffic safety and the setting of structural risks.The road above the pipeline has been watered down again and for a week due to leakage below the federal government. The sixty-year-old pipeline delivers about 40 lakh liter water every day to the Bopal train station from the Upper See. The route of the pipeline under the Kamla Park Road runs near the ASI-protected Rani Kamlapati Palace, an important archaeological location. The Indian Railways have tackled about twelve leaks since 2021, whereby repairs only offer short -term solutions. These quick-fix repairs have led to continuous road damage, water accumulation and surface disciplines. The Bopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) manages the water supply pipeline. BMC officials were not available for a comment. According to experts, temporary repairs are not sufficient. In view of its location near the cultural heritage and its important role in the water distribution, the pipeline requires either a complete exchange or relocation to avoid additional deterioration. While the state capital is aiming for a permanent solution, the residents have to face repeated infrastructure problems every few months after the temporary corrections. It is unsure when the Kamla Park pipeline will receive a final solution for this problem. A restless story is preceded by the current state of the pipeline a year of several repairs: in 2023 in September 2023, the Indian railways carried out its third repair operation of the year to address another pipeline burst. However, the problem occurred again in December and led to dangerous depression on the busy Kamla Park Road. Despite the use of industrial devices for pipeline repairs, the solution proved to be temporarily and short-lived. In January 2024 in 2024, the water began through the recently repaired section, which led to a deterioration in road traffic. The public expressed security concerns, especially in view of the importance of Kama Park as the main path for VVIP movements and airport access. April brought more serious problems when a specific channel collapsed and depression in the size of a manhole created, which requires police obstacles for public security. When the water leakage intensified, the Indian railways requested a repair decree, while the Bopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) claimed that the maintenance responsibility had belonged to the railway authorities. Recent repair efforts (May 2024) The Indian railways initiated new restoration work in May. The officials admitted that the combination of an old pipeline and persistent traffic pressure led to lead fractures every six meters. The underground structure continues to weaken under the daily passage of over a LAKH vehicles, including heavy goods vehicles.
