PALANPUR: The supply of water from the Dharoi dam, the major reservoir providing drinking and irrigation water to most part of the North Gujarat, will be affected for two days due to planned repair works of the pipeline system.
The water supply from the dam will be cut off for 48 hours starting from Wednesday midnight, said Sandeep Patel, deputy Engineer, water supply, of Dharoi dam.
“This will hit drinking water supply to 362 villages, 176 hamlets and nine municipality and nagar panchayat towns.

“We are making efforts to minimize the difficulties that the public will face.
However, Dharoi dam will resume supplying the water as usual after Sunday,” Hetal Rawal, municipal president of Palanpur, said.
