Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Orders District Teams for Jal Jeevan Mission
The Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, K. Pawan Kalyan, wants to make sure that everyone in the state gets clean drinking water through a program called the Jal Jeevan Mission.
He has created special teams in each area, led by local leaders called district collectors.
These teams will check every day to see if the work is going well and if the water pipes and projects are being built with good quality.
They need to work with different government departments to solve problems, like getting land for water tanks or permission to lay pipes.
The goal is to bring safe drinking water to all homes quickly and well, with special attention to places with fluoride in their water.
Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM K. Pawan Kalyan has ordered the creation of district-level monitoring units for the Jal Jeevan Mission.
These units, led by district collectors, will ensure timely and quality completion of drinking water projects.
The mission aims to provide safe drinking water to every household in the state.
Mega water supply projects are underway in five districts, with a ₹1,290 crore project in Prakasam benefiting over 21 lakh people.
Weekly progress reviews and daily field inspections will be conducted to address issues and ensure targets are met.
