Jammu And Kashmir's Kishtwar To Get 5 Lakh Gallons Of Water

The residents of Kishtwar and its adjoining areas in Jammu and Kashmir are all set to get five lakh gallons of surplus drinking water with the inauguration of the prestigious Naigadh Water Supply Scheme later this month, officials said on Sunday. The work on the project planned to overcome acute water scarcity in Kishtwar town and adjoining areas, began in 2013 at a cost of Rs 53 crore. It had missed several deadlines over the past six years.

Last week, the water flow testing of the extremely important and ambitious Water Supply Scheme (WSS) from gravity line to new filtration plant at Tirsar in Kishtwar was completed successfully under the overall supervision of District Development Commissioner, Kishtwar, Angrez Singh Rana. “This water supply scheme is a dream project, stringed with lots of hope and aspirations of people of Kishtwar, which remained hanging for a long time due to varied reasons and bottlenecks that in fact was a big challenge for the district administration and Hydraulic Division Kishtwar,” Rana said.
