Mangaluru, Jan 23: Access to clean drinking water remains a critical challenge for many isolated rural communities, where no concrete arrangement exist currently.

Chelairu Colony is a prime example, where residents have long faced difficulties in securing a continuous supply of potable water. Recognizing this urgent need, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) has taken a significant step towards improving the quality of life for the community.

MRPL has sanctioned Rs 55 lac for the construction of a new open well and the installation of a pipeline, ensuring 24/7 uninterrupted access to clean drinking water for approximately 360 residents. This initiative directly addresses a longstanding community need.

Recently, B Sudarshan, ED(R), formally handed over the Letter of Intent (LoI) to community representatives in the presence of Krishna Hegde Miyar, GGM(HR), Suresh K Rao, GGM(HSE) and Padmanabha Prabhu A, GM(Admin).

Vasanth Kulal, president, and Gangadhar Poojary, ex-president of the panchayat, expressed their sincere gratitude to MRPL for this generous contribution. They acknowledged the crucial role MRPL is playing in fulfilling a critical and long-awaited need for the residents of Chelairu Colony.
