64 years on, water treatment plant for Mollem and Collem
Ponda: Villages of Collem and Mollem — part of the Sanvordem assembly constituency — have begun receiving treated water from a dedicated water treatment plant for the first time, six decades after the state's Liberation. The supply started on Friday. The water treatment plant at Collem, costing over Rs 25 crore, has a capacity of 3 million litres per day (MLD) and was commissioned on Friday by fisheries minister Nilkanth Halarnkar, in the presence of Sanvordem MLA Ganesh Gaonkar. Over 2,500 households at Collem and Mollem villages in Dharbandora taluka are now getting treated water. Earlier, the water division of the PWD would pump raw water from the Khandepar river; from borewells at Bazarwada, Metawada, and one near the rural dispensary; and from an open well at Bazarwada. The present total consumption is 2.5MLD and the plant has been planned considering the next 30 years' consumption, said Dinkar Malekar, an assistant engineer with the department of drinking water (DDW). Water was earlier being filtered by a mini-pressure sand filter which ran for around 14 hours daily to supply potable water to the villages. However, locals were unwilling to accept the water, as the river basin it came from is used by tourists to bathe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa Prices in Dubai Might Be Lower Than You Think!

Gaonkar said the tender for the work on the plant was allotted to SMC Infrastructure from Thane, Maharashtra. Under the project, the contractor has constructed an overhead reservoir of 650 cubic metres (CuM) near Maruti Mandir, Gandhinagar at Collem, an 800 CuM clear water tank near Mallikeshwar temple at Metawada, and a 300 CuM ground-level reservoir (GLR) at Mollem. Malekar said a 7km-long ductile iron rising main pipeline pushes the water to the plant, and the 25km-long network comprises 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, and 150mm distribution lines. The treated water is then poured into the Collem overhead reservoir and ground-level reservoir at Mollem. 'While Collem villagers will get water from the overhead reservoir, the water to Mollem consumers will have to be pumped and released via distribution lines as the ground-level reservoir is situated at a low level,' Malekar said.

SSC tightens PwBD verification rules: Original certificate mandatory for scribe, extra time in exams
SSC tightens PwBD verification rules In a significant policy shift aimed at tightening disability verification during recruitment exams, the Staff Selection Commission ( SSC ) has made it mandatory for all PwBD/PwD candidates to carry original disability certificates to examination centres if they wish to avail scribe services or compensatory time. The new rule takes effect from the Selection Post Phase XIII and upcoming CHSL 2025 exams, and is expected to impact thousands of aspirants across India. The SSC's decision follows increasing instances where candidates applied for disability accommodations without providing valid documentation. What has changed? Until now, candidates with disabilities (PwBD) could access exam accommodations, such as extra time or a scribe, by declaring their eligibility and uploading a scanned copy of their certificate, even if it was incomplete or incorrect. However, the SSC has now made it mandatory to present the original disability certificate at the exam centre. In its official notice, the Commission stated: 'All those PwBD/PwD candidates who have claimed compensatory time and have uploaded a certificate shall compulsorily carry the said certificate in original during the examination, failing which they will not be given compensatory time and scribe facility.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The move is aimed at curbing misuse of these provisions and ensuring that only genuinely eligible candidates receive exam support. Check the official SSC notification released here . What documents are required? As per the official notification released by SSC, the document requirements for PwBD verification are mentioned below: Facility Claimed Required Certificate Must Carry Original? Scribe & extra time (benchmark disability) Disability certificate (≥40%) Yes Extra time only (writing difficulty <40%) Medical certificate Yes Own scribe Scribe details + valid photo ID of scribe Yes Failure to comply will result in cancellation of the requested facility and may lead to disqualification. What is compensatory time? Eligible candidates are allowed extra time of 20 minutes per hour of the exam duration. This is available to: Candidates with disabilities using a scribe Candidates not using a scribe, but with valid eligibility proof For example, in a 2-hour exam, such candidates will receive an additional 40 minutes. Remember this before opting for a scribe If a candidate opts to bring their own scribe, they must: Submit the scribe's details and photo ID proof at the centre Ensure the scribe meets SSC's eligibility rules Note: Only the scribe is allowed inside the exam hall, no other attendant is permitted Alternatively, candidates can request that the Commission arrange a scribe, which must be specified at the application stage.
