Chandigarh, Oct. 21 -- Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that waterworks and boosting stations are being constructed and pipelines laid to ensure the availability of adequate clean drinking water to the people of the state.
In addition, the floors of all waterworks and boosting stations are being laid with reinforced cement concrete (RCC) to prevent water leakage.
The Chief Minister was chairing a meeting of the High Powered Purchase Committee and the High Powered Works Purchase Committee in Chandigarh on Wednesday.
