Director, Department of
Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India, Mr. Sujoy
Majumdar has asked the district administration, Kaithal to regularize all the
unauthorized drinking water connection in all 62 villages of Kaithal block by
the end of this year under the pilot project being run by the Central
Government for recharging of ground water.
While giving this information today, an official spokesman said that he also
asked to put taps on all the connections so as to ensure uniform supply of drinking
water in both rural and urban areas. An action plan should be prepared for
this, he added.
Mr. Majumdar said
that individual toilets should be constructed in all houses and feedback
regarding the project should also be collected from the rural areas. Apart from
this, he also stressed the need to ensure effective management of solid and
liquid waste in the villages so that the aim of this project could
be achieved. Mr. Majumdar also praised the district administration for the work
done in Kaithal Block under this project and said that development seen in this
block is more than the expectation.
The spokesman said that the Central Government has started a project to
recharge the ground water in 10 States and 14 blocks in the country having
maximum exploitation of ground water in which Kaithal Block of district Kaithal
has also been included from Haryana. Under this project, by analyzing the
figures of ground water, the people would be educated about the methods of
recharging the ground water. The community participation was also being sought
in this work, he added. World Bank, Central Ground Water Board,
Agriculture Department, Ground Water Cell and Local Public Health Department
have been included in this project.
The spokesman said that the people were being made aware to stop the wastage of
water flowing in the drains. He said the aim of the pilot project of the
Central Government to recharge the ground water was to ensure the supply of
adequate drinking water through water management programme run through various
rural development and public assistance. Toilets should be constructed in every
house in villages. He said that the abandoned use of ground water by the
farmers, use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have adversely affected the
quality of water and also harmed the agriculture land. To control this damage,
the Central Government has started this project. On the basis of outcome of
this project, it would be implemented in the entire State so as to ensure clean
and adequate drinking water for future.
He said that
Haryana Urban Development Authority has transferred five acres land to district
administration free of cost where solid waste management plant would be
installed. This plant would be set up in about one year. Besides, organic
manure, electricity could also be generated from this plant, he further added.
