TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said one lakh water connections are being given every day in the country and added that this has become possible as ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ is moving forward as a mass movement.
His remarks came after he laid the foundation stone for the Manipur Water Supply Project today through video conferencing. “Today about one lakh water connections are being given every day in the country. Every day, we are removing such a big worry of water from the lives of one lakh mothers and sisters, making their lives easier,” the Prime Minister said.
“This acceleration is also possible because ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ is moving forward as a mass movement. People of the village, especially sisters and public representatives are deciding where the pipes will lay, where the water will be sourced, where the tank will be built, and how much budget will be made,” he said.
