During Prime Minister Modi's visit to Bengal, the Congress raised the question of why 'Jal Jeevan Mission' failed in 40 percent of the houses in Hooghly. Congress criticized saying that BJP's washing machine is active in the state. He accused the Central Government of withholding ration funds worth Rs 7000 crore. Ramesh also raised questions on the cleanliness of Ganga. Let us tell you, on Sunday, Prime Minister Modi addressed public meetings in four cities of Bengal, which includes Hooghly.


 

4,35,311 families deprived of a tap water scheme in Hooghly

Congress general secretary and senior leader Jairam Ramesh made a post on X on Sunday. Regarding Jaljeevan Mission in the post, he said that 4,35,311 families in Hooghly are deprived of the tap water scheme. The deadline for the scheme is set for 2024. Districts near Hooghly also have high concentrations of arsenic and fluoride in groundwater, which can cause serious health complications.
