Event Summary

India===Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the immediate release of Rs 3,112 crore in pending central government dues for the Jal Jeevan Mission schemes. Additionally, Stalin sought concurrence and financial support for the Hogenekkal Phase-III Combined Water Supply Scheme, which was approved in June 2023 but has seen central assistance stalled by the India===Ministry of Jal Shakti. The state has already advanced Rs 2,550 crore from its own resources to ensure the continuation of these projects, which aim to provide functional household tap connections to rural households. The withdrawal of support for the Hogenekkal scheme could severely affect drinking water supply in Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri districts. Stalin also requested sanction for 10 new Multi Village Schemes under Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0.
