Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma is scheduled to visit Guhata village in Indragarh tehsil of Bundi district on Wednesday to oversee the ongoing construction of the Chambal Aqueduct, part of the Rajasthan Water Grid Corporation Limited project. The state government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, is dedicated to the successful execution of the ‘Ram Jal Setu Link Project’ in Eastern Rajasthan. Officials are closely monitoring the progress of this significant project set to benefit 17 districts in the state.
The Chambal Aqueduct is a crucial element of the revised Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal Link Project, connecting Piplada Samel village in Digod tehsil of Kota district to Guhata village in Bundi district. Stretching approximately 2,280 meters across the Chambal river, the aqueduct is currently under construction with a mission-oriented approach to ensure timely completion. Apart from facilitating water transfer, the aqueduct will also enhance local connectivity by serving as a pathway for public movement.
The revised Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal Link Project, an expansion of the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project, includes the Ramjal Setu Link Project aimed at providing uninterrupted drinking water supply to people across various regions of the state. The initial phase of the project targets offering drinking water to around 3.25 crore individuals across 17 districts, ensuring water availability for irrigation and industrial purposes. This initiative is anticipated to boost socio-economic development in Rajasthan by increasing agricultural productivity, supporting industries, and enhancing the quality of life for millions of residents.
