During the meeting, it was informed that big projects are being implemented by the Irrigation and Water Resources Department to promote water conservation, ensure an adequate supply of water, and improve irrigation efficiency.

A new parallel line channel (PLC) from Dadupur to Hamida Head and modernization of the WJC are being carried out. The objective of this project is to reduce seepage losses from Hathnikund Barrage during the non-monsoon period.

So far, more than 80 per cent of the work has been completed. In addition, the reconstruction of the augmentation canal up to WJC Branch (75.25 km) is being undertaken at a cost of Rs 383 crore. The Chief Minister instructed that these projects should be completed within the prescribed time.

Similarly, lining and remodelling work of PD Branch (from Munak to Khubru Head) is also being carried out at a cost of about Rs 256 crore. Besides this, the foundation stone of the Gurugram Water Supply Project will be laid soon, under which the channel capacity will be increased.

The Chief Minister directed that the quality of water treated at Water Treatment Plants should be improved so that people do not face any difficulty in using it. At the same time, emphasis should be laid on increasing the use of treated water in coordination with industrial units so that fresh water can be conserved. Apart from this, treated water should also be continuously used for irrigation.
During the review of projects being implemented under the Department of Medical Education and Research, officials informed that the work of Bhagwan Parshuram Government Medical College, Kaithal, is progressing rapidly and about 65 percent work has been completed.

In addition, the progress of Guru Teg Bahadur Medical College, Panjupur, and Yamunanagar was also reviewed. The Chief Minister directed that these projects should be completed at the earliest without any delay.
