The Punjab
government is planning to introduce a cost effective Central Water Purification
System in difficult rural areas of the state in collaboration with Aqua
Infinite a Swiss based company to provide 100% chemical free treated potable
water to the people.
A decision to this
effect was taken by Punjab Chief Minister Mr. Parkash Singh Badal during a
meeting with a representative of Aqua Infinite Ms. Jennifer Beresford here at
the Chief Minister’s official residence on Sunday. Aqua Infinite was operating
through “Trunz“ its authorised company in India and provides commercial scale water purification equipment to meet the
world’s urban and rural drinking water needs.
Mr. Badal informed
that the water samples testing conducted across the state evident of the
presence of heavy metals contaminating the ground water and it varies from
place to place. He asked Ms. Jennifer if their company installs its water
purifier plant at few different places as pilot project that would help both
the State Government as well as the Aqua Infinite to initiate this
programme more effectively. Ms. Jennifer agreed to setup their Purification
System as pilot projects at five places of the government’s
choice.
Mr. Badal further
asked the Principal Secretary Public Health Department to chalk out various
modalities regarding the need based installation of equipment and clearances
for funding agencies at the Federal Government level.
