According to those concerned, there is no gate operator for two regulators. A MLS of the Water Unnon Board Office has been serving as the gate operator for a long time. It is not possible for him to open the gate and close the tie when he comes alone.
It is known that there is no motor at the flood gate of the regulator, the gate is not being done by bringing the workers to the gate to get up and down. But in this work, the workers are not doing it.
