Agartala, Jul 08, 2012 : “Keeping in view the limited water source in Tripura, people should be very careful to use water and should not waste it”, said Panchayat and Power Minister Manik Dey.
Speaking at a seminar organized at the initiative of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DWS) department at Town Hall in Ranir Bazaar on Saturday, Dey urged the people of the state to control the water wastage while using it.
‘Water is the main source of living; the state government has taken several initiatives for supply of pure drinking water in every village of the state. But the problem is that the state has limited source of water. Even, Howrah and other major rivers dry up in maximum part of a year; for this, everybody has to stop wastage of water’, said Manik Dey.

It may be recalled here that recently, Union Rural development Minister Joyram Ramesh declared that within next one year Tripura would be an open-defecation free state of the country.
