Addressing villagers, Singh said the government was focusing on strengthening civic infrastructure in rural areas, including roads, drinking water and sewerage facilities.

He said the sewerage works in Saktpur and Hasanpur marked the beginning of the Panchgram scheme’s implementation in these villages and would provide residents with a more organised sewerage system.

“We are working to ensure that modern civic amenities are not limited to urban areas but also extended to villages as well,” Singh said.

The minister said sewerage infrastructure would be developed alongside measures for water conservation and groundwater recharge. Treated water from sewage treatment plants would be used in village ponds, helping groundwater recharge along with rainwater, he said.

Local representatives and residents of Saktpur and Hasanpur attended the programme.
