Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij said that the construction of a concrete boundary wall to protect the Ambala Cantonment Industrial Area from flooding has received final approval from the High Power Works Purchase Committee. The boundary wall will be constructed at a cost of Rs.10.76 crore.
Sh. Vij said that construction work will begin shortly so that the industrial area can be secured before the onset of the rainy season.
The Energy Minister stated that a concrete boundary wall will be built around the industrial area at a cost of Rs. 10.76 crore, for which tenders have already been floated by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC). To protect the industrial area from floodwater, a total of two kilometers of RCC boundary wall will be constructed. The wall will be approximately 10 feet (3 meters) high above ground level, ensuring protection from waterlogging and flooding, especially during the monsoon season.
It is noteworthy that, due to the persistent efforts of Energy Minister Anil Vij, approval for the construction of the boundary wall had earlier been secured and tenders were already finalized. With the receipt of final approval, the work will soon be allotted to the agency and construction will commence. The design of the wall has been prepared by IIT Roorkee.
