The deputy speaker of Assam Legislative Assembly and the MLA of Bokajan Constituency, Numal Momin went out inspecting various projects of the Jal Jeevan Mission and drinking water facilities under his constituency in the Karbi Anglong district of the state.
Numal Momin was quoted by ANI as saying that many villagers of his constituency have access to pure drinking water and within six months this will be accessible to more than 30 per cent of the people in his constituency.
Momin told ANI, "Today I inspected various Jal Jeevan Mission schemes with the Public Health Engineering Department officials of the Bokajan Assembly constituency. Works are going on a war footing, and many people are now getting pure drinking water. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream is to provide pure drinking water to poor people free of cost. Many schemes are started functioning and many new schemes have also been sanctioned. In the next six months, more than 30 per cent of people in my constituency will get pure drinking water. In the coming days, more people will get drinking water. I am very much thankful to the Prime Minister for this special scheme to give drinking water to the people. So many flagship schemes have started for the poor people under the leadership of PM Modi."
He also said that for the poor people of the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a God.
"It is a great initiative by PM Narendra Modi and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's dream - 'Har Ghar Naal Se Jal', will benefit people and enjoy a disease-free life," said Numal Momin.
Now most of the villagers of remote areas in Assam's Karbi Anglong district have access to drinking water.
Earlier, the remote villagers of the Bokajan assembly constituency in the hill district were forced to drink water from rivers, waterfalls or streams. Now these villagers are getting pure drinking water under the Jal Jeevan Mission scheme.
According to a statement, a total of 359 JJM schemes with a cost of Rs 246 crore have been sanctioned in the Bokajan assembly constituency.
There are 43,046 households in the constituency and more than 10,000 households have started receiving pure drinking water under JJM schemes, the statement added.
