Jaipur, April 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma met Union Minister of Jal Shakti Shri C.R. Paatil in New Delhi on Thursday during his visit to the national capital.
During the meeting, the two leaders held detailed, meaningful discussions on key water-related initiatives and projects in the State of Rajasthan.
The discussions focused on the progress of the Ram Jal Setu Link Project, which aims to strengthen inter-basin water transfer and improve water availability in the state.
They also reviewed the implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission, which aims to ensure safe, adequate drinking water for every rural household.
Emphasis was placed on expediting works under the scheme to achieve universal household tap water coverage in a time-bound manner.
In addition, issues related to comprehensive water resource management in the state were discussed, including measures to improve water distribution efficiency, conserve water, and sustainably utilise available resources, particularly in Rajasthan's water-scarce regions.
The meeting underscored the continued cooperation between the government of Rajasthan and the Union government to address the state’s long-standing water challenges and accelerate ongoing projects in the sector.
CM Sharma went to Delhi after attending a couple of programmes in Jaipur. He made his presence felt as the chief guest at a state-level programme held at the Rajasthan Police Academy (RPA) in Jaipur.
Speaking on the occasion, CM Sharma said that the crime rate has reduced in the state in the last two years. He added that security and safety issues have been maintained in the state, and hence, investors are coming with confidence.
“Cyber crimes and drug addiction have come up as major challenges; we need to think afresh in modern ways to tackle these challenges. Society should stand active to check such a menace,” he said.
The CM further stated that the state government is working to control crime with a vision of zero tolerance towards crime and corruption.
He specified that the Anti-Narcotics Task Force has been set up to check the drug mafia, and the paper leak mafia has also been exposed and sent behind bars.
“Further, not even a paper has been leaked in our tenure,” he added. “We take pride in the vigilant sentinels of peace and security in the state,” the CM said.
