Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha Lays Foundation Stone for ADB-Funded Water Supply Improvement Project

In a significant step towards enhancing water supply infrastructure, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha ceremoniously laid the foundation stone for an Asian Development Bank (ADB)-funded water supply improvement project on Friday. This project aims to address the critical water supply challenges faced by various regions in the state, ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water for all residents.

During the inauguration ceremony, Chief Minister Saha highlighted the importance of reliable water supply for the overall development and well-being of the community. He emphasized that this initiative not only aims to improve the quality of water available to residents but also to promote sustainable water management practices. The project is expected to enhance water distribution networks, upgrade treatment facilities, and implement modern technologies for effective water supply management.

The ADB’s involvement underscores the significance of international partnerships in bolstering infrastructure development in Tripura. Chief Minister Saha expressed gratitude for the support provided by the Asian Development Bank, which will enable the state to implement advanced solutions and address the pressing water supply issues effectively.

The water supply improvement project is expected to have a far-reaching impact, benefiting both urban and rural areas. By ensuring a consistent and clean water supply, the initiative aims to improve public health, reduce waterborne diseases, and enhance the quality of life for the people of Tripura. Furthermore, it aligns with the state government’s broader goals of sustainable development and resilience against climate change.

Local officials and community leaders present at the ceremony voiced their support for the project, acknowledging its potential to transform water accessibility in the region. The initiative is anticipated to create job opportunities during its implementation phase, contributing to the local economy while addressing the critical need for improved water infrastructure.

As Tripura moves forward with this ADB-funded project, the focus will be on community engagement and ensuring that the benefits of the project reach all sections of society. The government is committed to transparency and inclusivity throughout the project’s lifecycle, aiming to foster a sense of ownership among residents.
