Ahead of the oath-taking ceremony of West Bengal's first BJP government led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, the Union Jal Shakti Ministry has approved ₹2,700 crore under the Jal Jeevan Mission for the state. This allocation, pending for nearly two years due to the previous Trinamool Congress government's reluctance to accept MoU terms, will be released after the Centre and state sign the agreement. Recent discussions resolved earlier issues, enabling the fund's release to support rural water supply initiatives.
