currently the paper work of transferring the assets, man power is in progress and on March 15 the water supply would be handed over to L&T.
For the past 6-8 months the L&T team has been surveying and has completed the same and actual work would commence in April 2021.

I think handing over essential services guaranteed by the Government to private agency in the name of efficiency and accountability reveals inability of government machinery and extra burden on consumers.
Late but not least. Good decision to handing over the water supply scheme to L&T the Reputed Company.
Best wishes to L&T.
L & T is a great company. Have confidence that they will do a good job.

It would appear that since the Belagavi Administration has for all these years Unable to solve the drinking water problem & woes of the general public, it is now in a helpless solution of handing over the contract of water supply to a private firm as L&T. So give this scheme a try and Hope for the BEST…….
