Siliguri, June 8: A rainwater harvesting project of the North Bengal University for which funds of more than Rs 7 lakh had been sanctioned by the state has been abandoned.
Under the project, a check dam was to be built across the Magurmari stream that passes through the varsity premises, to break its flow and store the excess water in a reservoir.
