UP ensures 24×7 vigilance to prevent drinking water crisis amid extreme heat

Lucknow : The Yogi government has taken proactive measures to ensure no drinking water crisis in Uttar Pradesh, even during extreme heat. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has issued clear directives to guarantee a continuous and uninterrupted supply of clean drinking water to every rural household across the state.

All divisional commissioners have been directed to conduct regular reviews and take swift action to ensure the effective implementation of water supply management. A formal directive has also been issued to all District Magistrates to remain alert 24/7 for water supply management.

The government is fully utilizing the piped water supply scheme. In areas where infrastructure work is still pending, alternative arrangements will be made to maintain a continuous water supply. Furthermore, public spaces such as tehsils, police stations, hospitals, and Anganwadi centers will be equipped with drinking water facilities like pitchers and plateaus.

Efforts are also underway to raise awareness about the importance of clean water and heatwave precautions through Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) activities. These initiatives aim to encourage villagers to conserve and consume safe water.

The ultimate goal of this campaign is to ensure that no rural family in the state faces a water crisis, and that life remains unaffected even during extreme heat conditions. The government is also prioritizing water availability in community toilets and other public facilities.
