To overcome the shortage of drinking water in the Capital, the
Delhi Government is keen on commissioning the Munak Canal as this would result
in saving of 80 million gallons per day of raw water and thus enable
functioning of three water treatment plants which are lying idle for lack of
required raw water at present, said Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit here on
Wednesday.
Addressing a Bhagidari workshop at Talkatora Stadium, she said
that with the commissioning of the Dwarka, Okhla and Bawana water treatment
plants it is expected that several parts of the city like Dwarka which are
facing shortage of drinking water would get the desired relief.
On the power supply scenario, the Chief Minister said her
government has tied up for adequate supply to meet the rising power
demand. She said managerial competence has been displayed to meet the
highest demand ever recorded in Delhi which now stands over 5400 MW.
In the area of health facilities, Ms. Dikshit said emergency
facilities are expected to improve now with the induction of 70 more ambulance
vans and opening of about 100 dialysis centres.
The Chief Minister also raised the issue of public hygiene and
said the South Delhi Corporation has been told to construct more public
utilities in markets and crowded places under its jurisdiction. She said
it was time to overcome the existing deficiencies in sanitation and
cleanliness.
