Haryana is all set to join the list of 'Har Ghar Jal' States in the country with 21 of its 22 districts being connected with tap water supply. Goa, Telangana, Andaman and Nicobar islands, Puducherry, Diu & Daman and Dadra & Nagar Haveli are the other States and UTs with the status.
With all rural households of Jind and Palwal in Haryana recently being connected with tap water supply, now, all households in 21 of the 22 districts in Haryana have potable water facilities. Mewat is the only district where nearly 82 per cent families are currently connected with piped water supply.
Every family of Mewat will have tap water connection by early September and Haryana will be the sixth state in the country to have 100 per cent households having domestic water connections, the ministry said in a release.
“It is expected that the target will be achieved as early as the last week of August or the first fortnight of September,” a ministry official said.
