Under NLCPR, there are two ongoing projects: Tura Phase-III WSS and Jowai WSS. They are funded by DoNER (Department for Development of North Eastern Region, Government of India). The amount required to complete these two schemes as on 1.4.05 is Rs. 25.91 crore, of which Rs. 5.74 crore has already been released by DoNER.

Under the Central Pool, the scheme for improvement of municipal sources is in good progress and is expected to be completed by March 2006.

Conclusion

It is the endeavour of the Department to complete all schemes within the scheduled time. However, due to shortage of funds and other reasons such as theft, disputes over land/source, inter-village rivalry and delays in completing work, implementation of schemes is sometimes delayed. The system of reviewing and monitoring the implementation of schemes has been strengthened. PHED will make every effort to provide adequate safe water supply from the schemes to the intended population within the scheduled time of completion.
