Haryana approves 15 MLD canal water supply for Manesar villages, says Health Minister

Gurugram, Nov 15 (UNI) Haryana Health Minister Arti Singh Rao on Sunday said the state government had approved the supply of 15 million litres per day (MLD) of canal water through the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority's (GMDA) master pipeline to improve drinking water availability in Manesar and reduce dependence on groundwater.
The project is expected to benefit residents of Bas Kushla, Bas Haria, Dhana, Kasan and Khoh villages, where access to reliable drinking water remains a key concern.
Addressing a Yuva Samvad programme at the IMT Manesar auditorium, Rao said the approval was a significant step towards addressing the region's water requirements.
"The approval of 15 MLD canal water supply through GMDA's master line will help provide clean drinking water to villages and reduce dependence on groundwater," she said.
The minister said improving basic amenities and resolving public grievances remained her priority.
"My priority is to stay connected with people, understand their problems and ensure their resolution," Rao said.
She said she had worked over the past two years to address issues raised by residents through regular public interaction.
Referring to wastewater management, Rao said a sewage treatment plant had been established in Manesar to treat wastewater before releasing it into village ponds.
She said the initiative would help improve local water management and reduce the discharge of untreated wastewater into ponds.
During the programme, the minister interacted with young people and residents and discussed civic issues affecting Manesar and surrounding villages.
