KAMALPUR, Nov 30 (TIWN): Whether its election time or not, the ‘golden era’ famous CM Manik Sarkar and his colleagues used to trumpet the claims of glaring development in the state. They also went to the extent of claiming that, the development in Tripura remained in scalable for other states in the country. But when it came to the matter of reality the reports of the different departments stated the saga of failure in achieving aims as set in previous years. Such failure revealed in the Annual Reports of DWS department for two consecutive years and the failure got admitted in the Annual Reports for 2013-14 and 2014-15. More interestingly, the failure not even spared the Dhalai district which remained under the direct surveillance of the CM.

In the year 2013-14, the target for Deep Tube Well (DTW) sinking was set to 37 and only 26 were achieved. In the case of DTW commissioning the success was 15 out of 37. In Shallow Bore Deep Tube Well (SBDTW) commissioning the district achieved 89 out of targeted 128. When the target for Iron Removal Plant (IRP) was set at 21 the achievement remained only 07. In case of SWTP the district could achieve only 2 among targeted 3. Among targeted figure of 297 Spot Sources for the district, the department achieved 294. The target for Laying of Pipe Line was set 1990 km for 2013-14. But the department could only achieve 62.77 km. Among 144 targeted habitations, the department could cover only 91 quantity wise. And among 84 it covered only 40 quality wise.

The same saga of failure continued in Dhalai district in 2014-15 fiscal. Among targeted 48 DTW only 27 got sunk. And against the target of 48 DTW only 24 got commissioned. The department could commission 163 SBDTW against the target of 228. In case of IRP the achievement remained 11 against 35. And with the target of only 1 SWTP, the department could not achieve it. When the department set the target of 628 Spot Sources, it achieved only 271. In case of lying of Pipe Lines, the target was set for 255.50 km. And only 150.60 km could be completed. Among 267 habitations set for quantity wise coverage, the department achieved 286. And when the matter came for quality wise coverage, the department could cover 14 habitations against the targeted 121.

But, the lame duck CM could find no shame in trumpeting development when his government could not achieve the target of providing safe and pure drinking water.
