  • Shilbheta village battles a severe water crisis as the Jal Jeevan Yojana project fails. Villagers urge government action for safe drinking water.

The article from MSN discusses the failure of the Jal Jeevan Mission in Bokakhat, Assam, where despite the initiative's aim to provide safe drinking water to all rural households by 2024, many villagers are still compelled to use water from ponds and streams. The report highlights that even though the government has spent significant funds, the infrastructure like pipelines and taps installed under the mission are either non-functional or inadequate. This has left the local population, particularly in areas like Kuruabahi, without access to clean water, forcing them to rely on potentially contaminated sources for their daily needs. The villagers express frustration over the lack of progress and the apparent misallocation of resources, pointing out that despite the installation of water facilities, they remain largely ineffective.
