L-G emphasises on encroachment-free upkeep of watershed and catchment areas of waterbodies
Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on Tuesday reviewed the progress of the implementation of Jal Shakti Abhiyan, which involves restoration, rejuvenation and creation of waterbodies, in the Capital. The programme also aims to conserve and enhance water availability in Delhi with a view to meet future demands.
According to sources, the L-G appreciated the efforts made so far, including setting up of Jal Shakti Kendras, GIS mapping of waterbodies, documentation and preparation of action plan, and revival of waterbodies.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
