Only 50% rural households have tapped drinking water under Jal Jeevan Mission
The Jal Shakti ministry has identified 13 major states where more than 9 crore or 95 per cent of rural households are yet to be provided with FHTCs.
The ministry on its part has said that several laggard states have indicated to it during review meetings that they are facing many bottlenecks while implementing the scheme. (Representative image from reuters)
