Bihar Public Health Engineering Department clears drinking water projects in Bihar
Bihar Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) Minister Ashwini Kumar Chaubey on Tuesday sanctioned multi-village water supply projects in Buxar, Vaishali and Patna.
130 Arsenic-affected villages of Simri block in Buxar district, 45 villages of Bidupur block in Vaishali district and 25 villages of Maner block in Patna will benefit from the project.
Addressing a review meeting of PHED here, he said that multi village projects should be launched immediately and completed on schedule.
Chaubey, however, admitted that despite the sanctioned order to install 1.37 lakh hand pumps in the last two years, only 27,000 hand pumps had been installed till date.
The minister also directed the PHED officials to adopt rainwater harvesting on a wider scale to arrest depletion of groundwater level in the state.
Chaubey instructed superintending engineers to complete all NABARD sponsored piped drinking water schemes in the state by March 31 next year.link
