Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated a 24×7 water delivery project on Sunday, resolving a long-standing concern for the people of Mani Majra. By guaranteeing a constant water supply, even to the highest levels of buildings, the project, which will cost around 75 crore, is anticipated to greatly enhance the quality of life for locals.
Among the primary constituents of this project are the construction of underground water storages, the extension of a system of channels delivering water to people, and the installation of intelligent devices measuring ten litres per second for measuring how much water is consumed per house. A total of Rs 91.29 crore will be spent on its maintenance and operation in the next 15 years and will be covered by the Chandigarh government.
The project is a step toward the city’s objectives of reaching the necessary per capita water supply criteria and attaining 100% coverage of the water supply. Although the administration has announced plans for a similar project that would span the entire city, this one is primarily focused on Mani Majra.
Gulab Chand Kataria, the administrator of UT and governor of Punjab, expressed hope for the project’s beneficial effects on the lives of its constituents. It is anticipated that the effective execution of this pilot project would open the door for such projects in other areas of the city.
