CM dedicates 4 water supply centres in Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad

Chief Minister Anandiben Patel here today dedicated four water supply centres for Ghatlodiya-Gota areas of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation built at a cost of Rs.48.40-crore to supply 32 million litres per day (mlpd) for 2.25-lakh people.

Speaking on the occasion, she said that the government has taken up the huge task of providing water in every town and village for the last decade, long neglected by the previous Congress governments. She said the sensible people of the state were unlikely to be sways by Congressmen spreading the canard that water pipelines are only throwing air.

Mrs. Patel said the government lay the 1.25-lakh km long statewide. It allocated Rs.3,400-crore in this year’s budget, keeping the need up to 2030 in mind. The grid connects all the eight municipal corporations, 151 municipalities and most of the villages in the state. She said there is need for planning environmental-friendly green and clean cities and not concrete jungles.

The Chief Minister distributed ‘sukhdi’ collected by the residents of hosing societies of the locality for anganwadis.

Ahmedabad Mayor Gautam Shah earlier delivered the welcome address. Those present on the occasion included MLAs and Corporators from Ahmedabad, AUDA Chairman Bhupendrabhai and prominent citizens.
