In another question, Public Health Engineering Minister Ranbir Gangwa said the Chief Minister is committed to ensuring 'Har Ghar Nal Se Jaal' tap reaches every household.

In line with this vision, the department is working continuously to ensure the provision of drinking water in newly developed regular colonies.

The minister was responding to a question of Geeta Bhukkal. He said recently drinking water supply plans for 25 regular colonies in Jhajjar have been prepared and estimates for these projects have also been completed.

The minister said nine villages of the Jhajjar constituency, including Jhajjar city, canal-based drinking water supply schemes are providing water according to prescribed standards.

In another question, Development and Panchayats Minister Krishna Lal Panwar said due to population growth in rural areas the government has granted the status of 'Mahagram' to villages with over 10,000 residents.

These Mahagrams are being provided with urban-style sewerage systems and essential infrastructure to improve the quality of rural life, Panwar said.

He said in the main lanes of Julana-Shadipur market, waterlogging occurs due to blockages and obstructions in the existing drains. To find a permanent solution, the government has formed an inter-departmental committee under the chairmanship of the Chief Executive Officer of the Zila Parishad of Jind.
