Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Raises Concerns Over Delays in Jal Jeevan Mission Implementation
The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly expressed bipartisan concern over delays and administrative issues in the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), a scheme aimed at providing safe drinking water. A House committee's report highlighted problems such as delayed contractor payments, ineffective planning, and a mid-mission switch from GI to HDPE pipes. While the committee recommended audits and inquiries into lapses, some legislators cautioned that blanket audits could halt ongoing work. The Assembly directed the government to submit an action report without disrupting current projects.
