At the National conference, MLA Devender Singh Rana on Thursday stressed the need for providing safe drinking water in rural habitations of Jammu and Kashmir in a time-bound manner.

He said contamination is an issue that affects the population, leaving them, especially children, vulnerable to disease. “To achieve the objective of providing piped water to rural households, synergised efforts are needed to be taken with active involvement of village communities,” Rana said.

Rana underlined the need of safe drinking water for rural populace and hoped that the line departments would redouble their efforts to ensure speedy implementation of the programme.

He asked the allied departments to work in an integrated manner so that the benefits of Centrally sponsored schemes reach people without delay.

The MLA called upon the people to avail the benefits of schemes tailored for their welfare and urged the concerned agencies to generate awareness among the masses.
