SHILLONG: Nongpoh MLA, Mayral Born Syiem, has urged state PHE minister, Renikton L Tongkhar, to expedite sanction and implementation of the list of schemes submitted to the department for Ri Bhoi district under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM).
In a letter submitted on Tuesday, Syiem, while underlining the need for making potable water available in the villages of Ri Bhoi, requested the minister to also expedite sanction of new schemes under JJM as there are many villages which need to be prepared for the new scheme.
He further urged the PHE minister to include maintenance of intake and mainline in the estimate as there are villages which are facing dearth of water supply.
The Nongpoh MLA expressed his gratitude to the Centre and PHE department of the state government for the initiatives taken to connect every household with tap water through the JJM scheme in the state.
The PHE minister, meanwhile, has assured of looking into the suggestions of Syiem.
