Work on laying pipelines to supply water should be completed expeditiously and there should be no compromise with the quality of pipes, he said while reviewing the progress of the implementation of the scheme here on Wednesday. The scheme is being run under the Jal Jeevan Mission.

The chief minister thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the implementation of the scheme and said it would help achieve the central and state government’s objective of providing clean water to people living in rural areas.

He said this would also help in achieving the objectives on the public health front. “The report on the progress of implementation should be uploaded and third party audit should also be carried out,” said the CM.
