Receiving 40 pc less water from DJB at Tilak Marg, Bengali Market UGRs: NDMC
The NDMC has also appealed to the people, asking them to save water and use the precious natural resource judiciously.
The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) on Friday participated in a campaign for “Jal Diwali” launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) programme and Deendayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Yojana – National Urban Livelihood Mission (DAY-NULM) with an aim to make women aware about water conservation and ensuring their participation in the domain.
Under the campaign, members of women-led Self Help Groups (SHGs) associated with partner NGOs of Delhi Jal Board and Deendayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Yojana – National Urban Livelihood Mission (DAY-NULM) visited four water treatment plants (WTPs) of the DJB.
Members of the women SHGs experienced the operations at Sonia Vihar, Wazirabad, Bhagirathi and Okhla water treatment plants (WTPs) and understood the process of cleaning water.
