Funds provided by NABARD for the current financial year for various schemes will be increased from Rs900 crore to Rs1,200 crore to speed up the implementation process of roads, irrigation, drinking water, agriculture, horticulture, rural engineering related schemes” said Chief Minister Harish Rawat while reviewing the progress of implementation of ADB and NABARD financed schemes in a meeting at Bijapur Guest House.
CM expressed concerns over the slow progress of drinking water schemes by ADB. He also pointed out that roads are being damaged by digging to lay down pipe lines under the drinking water scheme implementation by ADB.
According to issued directions by CM Rawat to Chief Secretary in this regard, dispute should be sorted out within three days by taking meetings with
officials concerned if there is any sort of problem between project manager and executive agency so that drinking water schemes implementation process might be speedy in the city to address the
citizens’ concern regarding drinking water.
A report should be presented incorporating all the facts in this context. Funds provided by NABARD for the current financial year for various schemes will be increased from Rs900 crore to Rs1,200 crore.
Drinking water scheme executive agency has to revamp roads immediately after the digging roads to lay down drinking water pipe lines without further delay compulsorily so that public might not face any kind of troublesomeness. Executive Agency also has to take care of given timeframe and quality during the construction of drinking water projects.
It would be pertinent to mention here that funds available by NABARD for roads, irrigation, drinking water,
agriculture, horticulture, rural
engineering related schemes will be increased from Rs900 crore to Rs1,200 crore to speed up the implementation process of these schemes.
Special stress will be on strengthening the sewerage system in the urban regions. Chief Secretary will examine and finalise NABARD financed schemes implementation within one week at his own level as instructed by CM Rawat.
