Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh): BJP leader Lanka Dinakar has raised the issue of improper implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission โ€“ Har Ghar Jal in Andhra Pradesh, ever since the mission was launched in 2019.

The ambitious mission is aimed at providing safe drinking water to every household in the country. Dinakar on Sunday said that as per information received from the Ministry of Jal Shakti through the Right to Information Act, so far, 10.65 crore households in the entire country, including 32.99 lakh households in Andhra Pradesh, are getting safe drinking water through taps.

He said that the scheme has so far achieved the target of 55.23 per cent coverage of rural households across the country but in Andhra Pradesh, only 34.66 per cent has been covered.
Dinakar alleged the lack of sincerity on the part of the YSRCP Government in implementing the scheme is the main reason for Andhra Pradesh lagging behind other states of the country in providing safe drinking water to its people.

He also alleged that the central government has already allocated Rs 7,804.20 crore out of its share of Rs 8,956.30 crore in the estimated total cost of Rs 18,004.70 crore required for the implementation of this scheme in the last three years, while the allocation made by the state as its share is โ€˜Nilโ€™.

โ€œThe incomplete planning and slow action of the Government in Andhra Pradesh has become a curse for the people,โ€ Dinakar said. He even alleged that the state government led by CM Jaganmohan Reddy is not sincere.

Delhi: Manish Tewari Gives Adjournment Motion Notice In LS To Discuss China Border Situation

Congress MP Manish Tewari on Monday gave an Adjournment Motion Notice in Lok Sabha to discuss the border situation with China in Arunachal Pradeshโ€™s Tawang

New Delhi: Congress MP Manish Tewari on Monday gave an Adjournment Motion Notice in Lok Sabha to discuss the border situation with China in Arunachal Pradeshโ€™s Tawang.

He urged the Government to discuss Chinaโ€™s attempts to infiltrate the Indian border and despite all this, the growing trade between India and China. In the letter, Tewari said, โ€ I demand that this House suspends Zero Hour and other relevant rules relating to Question Hour and other businesses of the day to have a detailed discussion on the grave situation at the border with China in the Tawang sector in Arunachal Pradesh.โ€

โ€œThis is the first physical clash between the two armies since August 2020 which took place at Rinchen La in eastern Ladakh. We have had the Honโ€™ble Defence Minister give a statement. However, there are crucial questions that need to be asked,โ€ he added.
He questioned why are these clashes happening, first Galwan and now Yangtse.
โ€œWhat do the Chinese want? Is the Government aware of Chinese mal intentions? Have we lost any territory to the Chinese as a result of these aggressions, if so, how much and how does the Government plan to get it back? Bilateral trade with China is at an all-time high,โ€ he further questioned.

โ€œBilateral trade with China is at an all-time high,โ€ he pointed out.
He further stated that between 2020 to the present, imports from China have nearly doubled from $27.3 billion to $52.4 billion. That the Chinese are attempting to come inside Indian territory is a portentous sign.

โ€œFrom Eastern Ladakh, the Chinese seem to be eyeing Arunachal and the 2,500 KM Eastern Sector of the LAC. Reports suggest that China has built massive infrastructure and there is additional troop buildup on the LAC. At least three additional PLA brigades are reportedly deployed at the LAC,โ€ he further stated.
The Winter Session of the Parliament began on December 7 and will continue till December 29.
