Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) and Water Minister, Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma, on Friday, announced the development of an 80 MGD (Million Gallons per Day) Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in South Delhis Chhatarpur. The plant will draw raw water from Himachal Pradesh, ensuring a reliable and clean water supply for thousands of residents. Complementing this project, the Minister also confirmed that 85 tube wells have already been sanctioned for the constituency, with installation work now underway. The announcements came during the Ministers visit to the Chhatarpur Assembly constituency, where he undertook a review of development projects and interacted with residents at several locations, including 100 Feet Road, CDR Chowk, Jonapur Village, Neb Sarai Chaupal and Maidangarhi Village. Describing the WTP as a transformative project, Singh said the facility would significantly ease water scarcity in the region and offer long-term sustainability. He emphasised that the water will be treated to the highest standards before distribution, providing much-needed relief in a region that has often struggled with inconsistent and inadequate water access. Singh also reviewed ongoing work to improve the water distribution network, including fast-progressing Underground Reservoir (UGR) connectivity projects that aim to enhance storage capacity and last-mile delivery. Speaking on sanitation, he informed residents that tendering for sewerage works has been completed and that execution will begin shortly. The works are expected to modernize sewage systems across multiple villages, addressing hygiene challenges and reducing the risk of waterborne diseases. Additionally, Singh also confirmed that Mandi Road is in the process of being handed over to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Once transferred, the road will be widened and upgraded to national standards, offering smoother and safer commutes and resolving long-standing issues of congestion and disrepair. Underscoring the urgency of implementation, the Minister instructed all departments to ensure that ongoing projects meet their deadlines with full transparency and adherence to quality standards. He assured residents that financial constraints would not hinder development, saying, Whether it is roads, clean water, or sewer systems — every essential service is being prioritised. And let me assure you — funds will never be a hurdle for the progress of Delhis rural belt. We are building not just infrastructure, but trust. The Minister was accompanied by senior officials from PWD, the Delhi Jal Board, and other line departments responsible for infrastructure, sanitation and water supply.
