(a) & (b) The township of Farakka Barrage Project
comprising mainly of temporary structures was initially
built in early sixties for housing the staff during
construction of the Barrage. The maintenance of the staff
quarters and other facilities have been carried out from
time to time departmentally. Besides, special repair works
in the township were carried out in two spells– first during
1982-84 and thereafter during 1996-99.
