Water and electricity in urban areas?

u/ranjan_zehereela May 25 '13

drinking water is a problem in rural areas. Diarrhea is prevalent in rainy seasons in remote areas. But CG govt has come up with Sanjeevani vehicle scheme, where hundreds of ambulances have been deployed all over the state to ensure quick medical relief in remote areas. CG is the only state to have universal health scheme for all of its citizens.

Electricity is in surplus. Have never faced load shedding since 2000

Chhattisgarh is a leading state when it comes to production of electricity. So, electricity is not so much of an issue here as it is in north india although the distribution of electricity leaves a lot to be desired. There are power outages due to failure of sub-stations during summer. Now coming to water, the situation is pretty similar to other states. Also, the water bored from ground has high lime content. So, it should be boiled before being drinking.
