He thanked the federal government for deciding to supply some water from Sunkoshi Marine Diversion after processing for drinking water in six districts of Madhes Province. "This plan is laudable. Madhes Province is committed to work in collaboration. As it takes time for completion of the project, we need immediate plans," he said and urged the federal government to pay heed to this urgency.
"I want to urge federal government to launch immediate plan and programmes so that drinking water problem would be addressed on time," he viewed.
