yes, ImI, I agree with you. We people need water. Recently a separate pipe line has been installed from Paani pokhari to Palace- a direct line from water treatment plant. People have to wait 3 days for a bucket of water. Not only that the so called Melamchi sarokar samooh ( there are more than 20 organizations) have been obstructing the project since the actual work started in 1999. I worked that project at that time and visited several times around Melamchi area. I told my bosses that the project was feasible technically and financially but I suspected that I would be very very difficult to manage the local people fueled by Pashu (pati) Rana and Maoist. I left the project in 2001 for furhter study.
