Despite the geographical conditions, thereꦫ would be no shortage of water and electricity in Rajasthan due to efficient management by the state government, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said on Friday.
The government's top priority is to provide water to the villages. It will be ensured that people don't face any problem in getting drinking water, he said after reviewing the works of energy, PHED, disaster m💫anagement and Relief, MGNREGA and Gopalan departments.
According to a statement, Gehlot said that top officials should visit different areas and inspect water and electricity supply arrangements. They should talk to peop꧋le and solve their problems on the spot, he said.
The Chief Minister asserted that his government would ensure there is no shortage of drinking water in any district and directed officers that water is supplied through tankers on local demand. Rs 50 lakh has been provided to all district collectors for contingency wor🥀ks so that repair of hand pumps, water supply through tankers, and tubewell digging can be done immediately, Gehlot said.
He sa♉id that regular power supply should be ensured in the state and directed officials to keep additional generators and transformers ready to meet any exigencies. At the same time, he appealed to the people not to waste waterജ and electricity.
The chief minister directed the district collectors to make the working hours under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGA) start from 6 am t🗹o give the workers relief from the scorching heat. In a meeting to review the law-and-order situation in the state, Gehlot said his ౠgovernment has a zero-tolerance policy toward crime.
In view of the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr and Parshuram 🧜Jayanti festivals, the police should be proactive in maintaining law and order, he sa🔜id and directed officials to identify those disturbing peace and take proper action against them.
