Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the works of providing pure drinking water to the urban and rural Population of the state should be completed within time-limit. According to the targets set in the roadmap prepared for self-reliant Madhya Pradesh, the works of all the tap water schemes in the state should be completed.
The Chief Minister said that engineers should be posted in villages for better maintenance of the schemes. He directed to encourage the concerned agency and officers-employees for timely completion of works in mega project works. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that strict steps would be taken against the guilty by fixing the responsibility for the delay in works. After the completion of the work of tap water schemes, special Gram Sabhas will be organised in the villages and the village will be declared as Har Ghar Jal category village. On completion of the construction works of the scheme, the scheme will be transferred to the concerned Panchayat. The officials of the Village Water and Sanitation Committee will also interact with the villagers. Letters of gratitude will also be sent to Prime Minister Shri Modi by the villagers for implementing such an ambitious and useful scheme.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan was reviewing the activities of Public Health Engineering Department in Mantralaya on Monday. Chouhan said that setting up of pipelines at places where water sources are not successful is an irregularity. Punitive action will be taken in such cases.
