With assembly elections round the corner, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Uttar Pradesh has expedited the work of starting door-to-door supply of drinking water in the villages of Bundelkhand and the Vindhya region from December.

It has been reported that Officials said trial runs have begun and along with starting tap water supply in Bundelkhand and Vindhya regions, the work of ‘Har Ghar Nal Yojana’ (tap water in each house) had been expedited in more than two dozen districts like Varanasi, Prayagraj, Gorakhpur, and Mathura.

“Water supply will be started in most of these districts by March 2022,” the company said.

“Under the Jal Jeevan Mission Scheme, the work of laying pipelines in remote rural areas in the state, including Bundelkhand and Vindhyas as well as laying pure drinking water supply lines to individual houses has also been completed,” the company said.

Officials said that the ‘tap water in every house scheme’, being run with the help of the centre, was being completed about six months before the scheduled time.

“By getting pure water, people of rural areas will get rid of diseases and overcome the problem of potable. Till now, the people in villages were dependent only on water from hand pumps located in far off regions,” the company said.

Piped water will reach a population of 7268705 in Bundelkhand and 40,45,943 in Vindhya region, the official said.

A total of 467 piped drinking water schemes have been implemented in 32 projects under Jal Jeevan Mission in the Bundelkhand region.

Through these schemes, arrangements will be made for 1195265 functional home water connections for a population of 7268705 of 3823 revenue villages. Pure water will be supplied to 1195265 households. These projects will benefit 40 tehsils, 68 development blocks, and 2608-gram panchayats of seven districts of the Bundelkhand region,” the company said.
