Director (Works) Mr Venkat Reddy and other OCW officials. Presently, like Seminary Hills MBR’s, there are two MBR’s located at Sitabuldi Fort (Fort-I and Fort-II), which supplies water especially to Central parts of Nagpur. Out of these age old MBR’s Fort –II will be completely demolished and new MBR will be constructed on the same site. The Fort -II MBR constructed almost 50- years back have never been touched yet and was heavily leaking from all sides.
This rehabilitation is a huge task and will take quite a long time. The prerequisite tasks of this mammoth job were taken up on 27th August 2014.
Meanwhile, it may be mentioned here OCW started complete rehabilitation of two major MBR (Master Balancing Reservoir’s) of Seminary Hills and Sitabuldi Fort (Killa) in city. The Seminary Hills MBR’s constructed almost 30-35 years back have never been touched yet.
OCW has not only started its rehabilitation but till date has completed almost 75 % rehabilitation work of first part of MBR and soon will start another phase of rehabilitation of part -II.
