Govt misses target on clean water initiative
: The clean drinking water programme of the federal government is unlikely to achieve the target it set for the installation of filtration plants in the country, as only 4,500 plants are likely to be installed against the target of 6,035 plants during 2007-08. A review of the installation of filtration plants showed not much progress on the approved policy of having one filtration plant in each union council. The utilisation of funds remained very low against MTDF targets, when only 440 water filtration plants were established against a target of 646 during 2005-07.
