PHED's ‘Zero Office Day’ Ensures Effective Water Supply Monitoring

The Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) is running a Zero Office Day campaign for the "Har Ghar Nal Ka Jal" scheme in the state. Under this, 15 thousand 609 water supply schemes have been inspected. During this, 15 thousand 286 schemes were found to be functional, 213 schemes were found to be unsatisfactory, 274 schemes were found to be closed. Out of the closed water supply schemes, 128 schemes have been restarted. The headquarters has issued instructions to improve the total 146 schemes found to be unsatisfactory and currently closed within 24 hours.

Instructions to start closed schemes within 24 hours

PHED Minister Neeraj Kumar said that on receiving complaints through any medium related to water supply schemes, the department resolves it within the stipulated time limit. Its information is recorded on MIS. This campaign is also reaching those areas from where no direct feedback was received. In the campaign, instructions have been given to restart the closed schemes within 24 hours.

Zero Office Day Campaign at Ground Level

In Zero Office Day Campaign, instead of sitting in the office, the regional officers of the department go to the ground level and check the actual status of water supply schemes. They also directly communicate with the beneficiaries and record their problems and suggestions. This is ensuring safe drinking water to the beneficiaries along with saving time. Similar inspection campaigns will continue in the coming days.
