JAMMU, Oct 11: J&K BJP Secretary Arvind Gupta has expressed over the media report that Jammu & Udhampur districts are lagging behind in completing the water projects under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM).
In a handout issue, Gupta said that it is a Central Government’s project with fixed deadline that by 2024 every household has to be provided tap water supply. It is most unfortunate to know from the report that both, Jammu and Udhampur are among the worst performing districts under the mission and that the performance of both these districts is not up to the mark as nearly half of the households are still waiting to get fresh tap water connection.
He said that Modi Government is committed to provide all the basic amenities to the people at the doorstep. Jal Jeevan Mission is a flagship programme of the Modi-led Government launched on August 15, 2019, which is a great initiative to benefits large population and need to be complete in time bound manner.
He appreciated that in Jammu and Kashmir UT, some districts are amongst the best performers in the entire country having 100 per cent tap water supply under Jal Jeevan Mission, and demands that responsibility should be fixed on the officials supervising such works of water schemes in the worst performing districts and immediate and effective steps should be speed up the works to ensure that no areas is left uncovered by 2024.
