A Mission Bhagiratha main pipeline got damaged during a trial run on Saturday at Manjulapur on the outskirts of Nirmal district headquarters town spewing jets of water for about 2 hours.

The pipeline leaked from after it was damaged apparently due to water pressure according to information reaching here.

According to sources, officials undertook a trial run pumping of water from the intake well on SRSP at Local Velmal in Dilawarpur mandal in the district at 5 a.m. The pipeline is reported to have suffered damage as soon as water reached the spot.

Officials controlled the leakage after shutting off pumping of water in the pipeline. The spewing water accumulated in the field of farmer Malkapur Bhumanna who claimed that it will delay sowing of paddy for which he had readied his field.
