'No proper drinking water in 46% rural J&K'
As much as 46% rural habitations in Jammu and Kashmir do not have access to enough drinking water facilities, state Irrigation minister Farooq Ahmad Andrabi said on Tuesday. He claimed that all such habitations will be covered by 2020. Of the 15,798 rural habitations, only 8,535 (54%) are provided water at 40-55 litres per consumer every day, he added.
