Varanasi: increased level of ganga, which usually remains constant from September, has left officials related to the Kashi Vishwanath Dham (corridor) project that is worried because it will disrupt the deadline of the November end of the project to solve the project.
Speaking with TI on Saturday, Divisional Commissioner Deepak Agrawal said, “More than 80% of the work more than the RS 700 Crores KV Dham Project has been completed.
Most of the buildings proposed in the corridor area are almost finished with finishing and interior work that occur in full swing .
However, the rise in water level Ganga has hindered the work.
“the increase in the level of Ganga has not yet allowed the company to implement the project for the resumption of work at the bank side of the river, which will give access to the temple of Kashi Vishwanath directly from some of the ghats, including Manikarnuka, Jalasen and Lalita Ghats, because the threat of postponement of job completion at this time has increased.
Ganga adopted an increasing trend in July when crossing a danger sign, and again in September.
In the past few decades, there was no trend in the increase in water surface in the part of October which was witnessed, officials said.
However, the water level adopted a trend that increased again since October 22 after heavy rains in the hills of Uttarakhand.
In accordance with the flood bulletin on Saturday from the Central Air Commission (the Central Ganga Division), the Ganga surface reached 64.86 meters-mark and continued trends.
Officials said when the water surface became upstream in Phaphamau, Prasagraj and Mirzapur, the possibility of further increase was reduced.
However, the Ganges River has left Ghats by ending their interconnectivity while the aarti ganga has also shifted up.
The work of the DHAM KV project, which gained momentum with the formation of the Yogi Aditentalath government in December 2017 after the Prime Minister Narendra Modi put the foundation on March 9, 2018, continuing with the speed of accelerated to two Covid-19 waves inhibiting twice.
Thus, the project deadline, which was originally set in August 2020, was revised with a new target to be November-end.
Officials said that the construction of docks and walls of his retention in Manikarnika, Jalasen and Lalita Ghat were resolved before the rainy season became active this year in June.
However, the fresh obstacle created by increasing the surface of the Ganga water has hampered the skittom construction work at the Manicarnika gate of the Pantanen Entrance Point, Ganga View Gallery, the Cafeteria and Public Utilities, which added later with this project.
Before the state government expressed approval for this additional work RS 55 Crores in a recent cabinet meeting, the tender process for work was completed, officials said.
But, all eyes are now on the surface of the ganga water because the restart working at this point will only occur when the water level will recede.
