Chandigarh is considering international partnerships with countries like Israel and Russia for its Rs 412 crore 24/7 water supply project. The project aims to modernize the distribution network and reduce water loss. Due to escalating costs and financial concerns for residents, authorities are exploring options for technical assistance, grants, or capacity-building support instead of loans. This approach seeks to implement city-wide 24/7 water supply without imposing financial stress on the civic body or residents.
