The Uttar Pradesh government has implemented a 10-year operations and maintenance warranty for rural drinking water schemes. This initiative aims to enhance the management of rural water supply in the state.
The decision is part of the Jal Jeevan Mission, which focuses on providing safe drinking water to all households. The Jal Arpan initiative encourages community management of these resources.
This shift from construction to management reflects a growing commitment to sustainability in rural infrastructure. In previous elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party emphasized development in Uttar Pradesh.
Akhilesh Yadav has criticized the government for its handling of water supply issues, highlighting ongoing concerns among residents.
