The Tripura government is planning to set up 'Water ATMs' in all schools, colleges and railway stations to ensure safe drinking water supply, a state minister said today.
Replying to a calling attention notice in the state Assembly today, Minister for Drinking Water and Sanitation (DWS) Sudip Roy Burman said the automated machines will dispense pure drinking water.
Burman said the ground water level in the state was declining and rainwater would be harvested in the hilly areas,
However, 18 among them were identified as 'slip back' habitations, which slipped back from fully covered ones. "We would resume water supply in those slip back habitations, we are working with that aim."
