16 water kiosks defunct in city: MCG survey

By Sumit Blogs -

Gurgaon: A MCG survey has found that 16 out of 44 water ATMs installed in its areas are not functional. Officials said that the objective of installing water ATMs was to provide drinking water at affordable rates at public places and also earn revenue by displaying advertisements on water ATMs. The survey also found that no advertisements were displayed at 14 out of 16 ATMs, which are not operational. The civic body has now decided to cancel the contract of two firms, which were given the contract to manage water ATMs.
“The objective of the water ATMs is not fulfilling due to which it has been decided to cancel the contract of the firms MCG had outsourced to install and manage the water ATMs. The further plan of action for water ATMs will soon be decided and action will be taken accordingly,” said Madhusmita Moitra, MCG’s chief town planner.
According to the MCG survey report, water ATMs not working includes the ATMs installed at Sector 14 opposite Apollo healthcare, Vatika Business Park in Sector 49 , near Bharat Petrol Pump in Sector 47, Rajiv Chowk, Bhaktawar Chowk, Cyber Park, Huda City Centre, near Medanta Medicity, Sector 38 near Shriram Sharnam, opposite Arisent building near Sector 33, Rezang La Chowk, Sheetla Mata temple, Sector 23 and 23A dividing road and three more water ATMs installed at Badshahpur Chowk. The remaining 28 ATMs were found in working condition, said MCG officials.
The issue of water ATMs lying defunct was also discussed in the MCG House meeting held on Monday. It was discussed in the meeting that the water ATMs that are working are also not properly utilised and people hardly take water from these ATMs. A councillor had also suggested in the meeting that the locations of these water ATMs should be changed since he said that water ATMs at places like Golf Course Road are hardly used.

The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday.
