The chief minister also asked officials to ensure that the project of providing 100% sewerage connectivity across Delhi is completed within the stipulated timeline.

“The Delhi government will not make any false promises to the people. Officers must have a complete understanding of the on-ground reality and what we can deliver,” he said.

Of the 1,799 unauthorised colonies in Delhi, piped water supply has been released to 1,573; supply is yet to be notified in 60 others, leaving just 166 more colonies to be connected to the network, he said in a statement.

He added that round-the-clock water supply is being made available in areas like Malviya Nagar, Nangloi and Mehrauli-Vasant Vihar which were taken up as pilot projects and cater to 12% of the population.
