Regarding Need to expedite completion of all pending
Projects under Jal Jeevan Mission in Tripura East
Parliamentary Constituency-Laid
SHRIMATI KRITI DEVI DEBBARMAN (TRIPURA EAST): I would
like to draw the attention of the Government to certain serious
discrepancies in the implementation of works under the Jal Jeevan
Mission in my Parliamentary Constituency, Tripura East. The
constituency comprises predominantly hilly and remote areas and
continues to face acute water scarcity. While the Jal Jeevan
Mission is of critical importance for the people of this region,
instances of improper implementation and misreporting by certain
executing agencies have been observed, which are adversely
affecting the intended outcomes of the scheme. Further, the
maintenance of completed water supply projects has emerged as a
major concern. In several cases, this is attributable to negligence
on the part of the implementing agencies, and in some instances,
to the difficult geographical terrain of the region. As a result, many
projects remain non-functional or partially functional, causing
hardship to the local population. I therefore request the Hon'ble
Minister of Jal Shakti to conduct a detailed review of the status of
Jal Jeevan Mission works in Tripura East, ensure time-bound
completion of all pending projects, and take appropriate action
against agencies found responsible for negligence or misreporting,
so that the people of the region may receive assured and
sustainable drinking water supply.
