Talwara Water Project to address drinking water woes in Punjab's Kandi

Punjab's Minister of Water Supply and Sanitation, Brahm Shanker Jimpa, has announced that the Talwara surface water project is set to be completed by the next year. Once finished, the project aims to provide clean drinking water to 197 villages in Talwara, Hajipur, Bhunga, and Dasuya blocks. During a visit to the project site evening, Jimpa revealed that a 231 km pipeline would be laid from the Shah canal barrage as part of the initiative, with a total estimated cost of Rs 258 crore. Jimpa emphasized that the completion of this project would address the drinking water challenges faced by residents in the kandi area.

Meanwhile, in Jind, truck drivers continued their protest. The demonstration, which began eight days ago in front of the mini secretariat, involved a procession from Rani Talab to the mini secretariat. The truckers are demanding the rollback of a recently enacted hit-and-run law. Various office bearers, including the state president, participated in the procession. The drivers issued a warning of a statewide protest if their demands are not met promptly, expressing concern that the central government may implement the law at any time. They have vowed to persist with their protest until the government agrees to revoke the law.
