Chandigarh, September 30

Local Government Minister Inderbir Singh Nijjar has instructed officials of the departments concerned to complete work on a war footing to provide canal water to the residents of Kharar and Zirakpur to meet their potable water needs. The project cost is about Rs 60 crore.

Nijjar said a water treatment plant, with a capacity of 5 MGD, would be constructed by the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GAMADA). The pipeline work and construction of a tank would be carried out by the Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board.

The Cabinet Minister said after discussions with officials of GMADA recently, it was decided to provide 2 MGD of canal water to Zirakpur. He said the canal water project would be an important step in the direction of keeping in check the depletion of groundwater.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
