Issues with some Jal Jeevan Mission schemes, says Mahajan
Nashik: Water resources minister Girish Mahajan said there were some technical issues with regards to construction of Jal Jeevan Mission water supply schemes, and these would be sorted at the earliest. Speaking to newspersons after unfurling the national flag on May 1, Maharashtra Day, Mahajan also admitted delay in starting the Metro Neo project promised to Nashikites about seven years ago, adding that the "picture would change soon". Replying to food and drug minister Narhari Zirwal's claim that Jal Jeevan Mission was a "failed scheme", the WRD Minister said, "It cannot be a blanket statement, though there could be some issues at some places which need to be resolved. We know very well that the sources went dry in some places; similarly, in other cases, there were issues with the laying of pipelines and other things." Reviews were being done at regular intervals, and actions taken against those who failed to provide support for running of the schemes. "There are many instances of the scheme being very successful, and there are only a few examples where the scheme is yet to be completed," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Click Here To Read More - micro segmentation software Expertinspector Click Here Undo About Metro Neo, the minister said there were some technical hiccups which had been cleared, and he hoped that the Metro Neo would be launched soon.
