New Delhi [India], March 28: With summer temperatures rising, Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma chaired a crucial meeting with Delhi Jal Board officials and MLAs to discuss strategies for water management in the capital.
Key Measures Discussed:
- Appointment of nodal officers in every department to coordinate water supply solutions between MLAs and government officials.
- Increase in water tankers to ensure adequate water distribution in high-demand areas.
- Structural improvements in Delhi’s deteriorating water system to provide equal access to water for all residents.
- Elimination of water leakage to conserve resources and reduce wastage.
Parvesh Verma emphasized that previous administrations failed to take adequate steps, and the current government is committed to stopping the recurring water crisis.
