Prime Minister Arvind Kejriwal met with Water Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj, Forestry Minister Gopal Rai, Chief Secretary and senior officials of the concerned department at the camp office on Wednesday to provide clean and abundant water to every household. In doing so, he placed particular emphasis on increasing the availability of water and making optimum use of water. In addition, instructions were given to complete the ongoing work of Delhi Jal Board in this direction before the stipulated time.
On this occasion, Kejriwal said time-bound work needs to be done to make full use of available water near Delhi and stop its wastage. All tubewells must be operational, installation of new tubewells must be performed quickly and defective tubewells must be repaired within 24 hours. To increase the availability of water, work on a new sewage treatment plant must be completed soon. At the same time, he has asked for a plan to purify the ammonia present in the water coming from Haryana within a week.
Apart from this, he directed the first secretary to work with the DDA to solve the land-related problem. He said that tubewells should be installed within six months of being landed and that all tubewells installed should have the work of installing a water flow meter completed quickly to avoid wasting water on UGR. He ordered that all wells be in working order and that the water available from them be supplied. Action must be taken against the affected technician in the event that a defective tubewell is not repaired for four days.
