In this series, the government has taken a new step to provide adequate drinking water in areas lacking drinking water including unauthorized colonies. For this, the government will set up 500 RO plants in the first phase along with tubewells. The Jal Board in Delhi has so far identified land for 471 RO plants.
Recently, a high-level meeting was held under the chairmanship of CM Arvind Kejriwal regarding drinking water in Delhi, in which the progress made by the Delhi Jal Board in this direction was reviewed. In this regard, the officials said that land has been received from some departments, while a solution is being found soon after talking to the departments from which the land has not been received.
Wherever tubewells are being installed and lakes are being made in Delhi, large RO plants will be set up as per the requirement. Apart from this, the Delhi government will also set up small RO plants as per the requirement. Delhi Jal Board officials said that so far 471 places have been identified for installation of small ROs. He told that RO plants will be set up at these places as soon as possible after taking permission from the department that owns the land.
