NTPC ash pipeline bursts again at Singrauli's Tulsi Dhoti, ash and water spread over road

An NTPC ash pipeline burst once again on Wednesday at Tulsi Dhoti in Ward No. 38 of the Singrauli Municipal Corporation. The pipeline runs alongside the railway line.

Ash and water from the pipeline spread over the road, leaving it completely damaged. Commuters, especially motorcyclists, are facing difficulty using the route. Residents of the area are angry over the repeated bursts.

Ward councillor Anil Kumar Vaishya, who is also a member of the municipal corporation's appellate committee, said the NTPC ash pipeline running along the railway line at Tulsi Dhoti bursts every few days. As a result, the road is deteriorating and people are having trouble getting around. He has demanded that NTPC's general manager have the pipeline repaired immediately.

The councillor said the bursts are continuously damaging the road. According to him, the NTPC management should get the broken road repaired soon, along with the burst pipeline. He also demanded a permanent solution to the problem so that such a situation does not recur.

To obtain the NTPC management's side, an attempt was made to contact its management and public relations officer, Shankar Subramaniam, but he could not be reached.
