The apex committee of the State Water and Sanitation Mission (SWSM) has approved proposals for providing 13.99 lakh water supply connections costing ₹11,551.23 crore in the rural areas under the Centrally assisted Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM).
In all, 13,99,540 functional household tap connections (FHTC) will be provided in 2021-22, the Water Resources Department said on Monday. The SWSM apex committee, chaired by the Chief Secretary, oversees the implementation of the JJM schemes in the State.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
