AGARTALA, September 20, 2024: Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha Friday criticised the previous successive governments for failing to address the basic needs of the people. He stated that the current BJP-led state government has given special priority to meeting these needs including providing access to clean drinking water for all.
The state government plans to ensure that 100% of homes in urban areas have access to drinking water and the Jal Jeevan Mission will be successfully implemented in rural areas. Dr Saha also mentioned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always prioritised development, and the state's development has accelerated since he took charge.
An allocation of Rs. 530 crore has been earmarked in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the expansion of drinking water systems in 12 towns under the flagship Mukhyamantri Nagar Unnayan Prakalpa (MM-NUP). The Chief Minister laid the foundation stone at Udaipur in Gomati district to launch this civic initiative.
The project will be implemented on a cluster basis across several towns including Khowai, Mohanpur, Ranirbazar, Bisramganj, Melaghar, Udaipur, Amarpur, Belonia, Kumarghat, Dharmanagar, Kailashahar and Ambassa. Some 4 lakh people from 75,000 families will benefit from this project, which will include a total of 18 kilometers of roads and 48 kilometers of drains, improving transportation and drainage systems.
The "double engine" government at both the state and central levels is working to ensure that there is no deficiency in the welfare of the people, Chief Minister opined.
