THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI V. SOMANNA): (a) to (e): Drinking Water being a State subject, the responsibility of Planning, Designing, Approval, Implementation, Operation and Maintenance of drinking water supply schemes, replacement of drinking water infrastructure including cleaning, flushing and repair of pipelines, monitoring of water quality, and oversight of drainage and sewerage systems for both rural and urban areas including those under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), is vested with State/UT Governments. The Government of India supplements the efforts of the States/ UTs by providing financial, policy guidance and technical assistance. Jal Jeevan Mission is under implementation since August, 2019, to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household. Under JJM, as per existing guidelines, Bureau of Indian Standards’ BIS:10500 standards are adopted as benchmark for quality of water being supplied through the piped water supply schemes. As per the Operational Guidelines, States/ UTs can utilize up to 2% of their annual allocation of funds under JJM for Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance (WQMandS) activities, inter-alia, which includes setting up and strengthening of water quality testing laboratories, procurement of equipment, instruments, chemicals, glassware, consumables, hiring of skilled manpower, surveillance by community using field test kits (FTKs), 12.03.2026 581 awareness generation, educational programmes on water quality, accreditation/recognition of laboratories, etc. Based on the information received from the State Government of Madhya Pradesh as of 22.01.2026 no rural areas were reported with sewage contamination in drinking water supplies. In consultation with various stakeholders 'Concise Handbook for Monitoring Water Quality of Piped Drinking Water Supply to Rural Households’ has been released in December 2024 for guidance to States/ UT’s. This handbook recommended for a comprehensive testing of drinking water samples at various testing points such as source, treatment plant, storage and distribution points, and remedial action wherever necessary including measures such as cleaning of OHTs, check pipe line leakage, etc. to ensure that the water supplied to households is of prescribed quality and to enhance public health. Under JJM, to enable the States/ UTs for online reporting of water quality monitoring and surveillance including test reports of water samples for water quality, sample collection etc. for drinking water, an online JJM – Water Quality Management Information System (WQMIS) portal has also been developed. The State–wise details of water quality test reported through WQMIS are available in public domain and can be accessed at: https://ejalshakti.gov.in/WQMIS/Main/report . The State-wise details of water quality testing reported by States/UTs on JJM-WQMIS is given in the enclosed Statement-I. The district-wise details of water quality testing reported by 12.03.2026 582 Maharashtra is given in the enclosed Statement-II. Further, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has informed that MoHUA supplements the efforts of States through policy guidance, financial support and technical advisories under missions and schemes such as AMRUT and AMRUT 2.0 in urban areas. These missions support infrastructure strengthening, including replacement of legacy systems, promotion of 24×7 water supply with quality assurance, Drink from Tap (DfT) initiatives, online water quality monitoring, SCADA-based monitoring, community participation, and enhanced last-mile connectivity. Under AMRUT/AMRUT 2.0 and in convergence with States, 246 lakh urban water tap connections, and 182 lakh sewer connections have been provided, while 93,457.51 km of water pipelines and 26,995.61 km of sewer networks have been laid or replaced. As informed by the State Government of Madhya Pradesh, incidents of vomiting and diarrhoea were reported on 28.12.2025 in Bhagirathpura area (Ward No. 11, Zone-4, Assembly Constituency Indore), resulting in 22 reported deaths due to acute diarrheal disease and hospitalization of 459 persons. The State Government provided ex-gratia assistance of ₹2 lakh to the dependents of each deceased and ensured free medical treatment to affected persons in Government and private hospitals. Following the incident, the Indore Municipal Corporation, Health Department and Public Health Engineering Department initiated a joint response including hospitalization of serious cases, door-to- door surveys, distribution of ORS packets and chlorine tablets, suspension of 12.03.2026 583 water supply through pipelines and borewells, provision of water tankers, and testing of water samples at NABL-accredited laboratories. The State also issued Standard Operating Procedures for Urban Local Bodies and launched the “Swaccha Jal Abhiyan” from 10 January 2026. The matter is sub judice before the Hon’ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh at Indore, which has appointed Justice Sushil Kumar Gupta (Retd.) as a one-man Commission of Inquiry to examine the cause of contamination, public health impacts, adequacy of response, preventive measures, and responsibilities of concerned officials. Drinking water contamination in urban areas is generally attributable to vulnerabilities in distribution systems and their interface with sewerage and sanitation infrastructure. Although urban drinking water is required to conform to BIS IS 10500 standards, deterioration in quality may occur due to infrastructure-related, operational, environmental and maintenance factors across transmission, storage and distribution systems, including leakages, pipe bursts, defective joints, cross-connections with sewerage and drainage systems, ageing infrastructure and corrosion, intermittent supply and negative pressure, stagnation and prolonged retention of water, and inadequate maintenance of storage or sewerage systems. To address such risks, MoHUA has issued advisories to strengthen water quality monitoring, including community participation under AMRUT 2.0, and has published the “Manual on Water Supply and Treatment Systems (Drink from Tap)” in March 2024. In January 2026, States were further advised to undertake comprehensive assessments of vulnerable areas and ageing infrastructure, identify sewer- water line crossings, and conduct digital mapping of water and sewer networks using geospatial databases created under AMRUT/AMRUT 2.0. 12.03.2026 584 STATEMENT-I State-wise details of water quality testing reported by States/UTs Sl.

SHRI A. MANI: Will the Minister of PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS be pleased to state: (a) the details of total number of LPG distributors functioning in Tamil Nadu during the last three years along with the number of licensed distribution agencies per district, district-wise; (b) whether the Government has the details of the number of LPG distributors serving the Dharmapuri Parliamentary Constituency and the coverage of LPG connection delivery points within the constituency, if so, the details thereof; (c) whether any gaps or underserved areas have been identified in Dharmapuri where residents face delays or difficulty in accessing LPG distributors and refills, if so, the details thereof; (d) whether the Government has received any specific grievances relating to LPG supply, distributor accessibility, delivery logistics or safety compliance in Dharmapuri Constituency, if so, the details thereof; and (e) whether targeted measures are proposed to strengthen LPG distribution networks, improve service delivery and ensure equitable access for all households in Dharmapuri and across Tamil Nadu, if so, the details 12.03.2026 610 thereof? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM (SHRI SURESH GOPI): (a) to (e): As of 01.03.2026, there are a total of 25,605 LPG distributorships operating across the country including 1,658 in State of Tamil Nadu. These are served through 214 LPG bottling plants of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) located across the country. In order to improve access of LPG in rural and remote areas, OMCs have commissioned 8037 distributorships, during 01.04.2016 to 28.02.2026 across the country, out of which 7444 (i.e. 93 %) are catering to rural areas. The details of no. of LPG distributorship in the state of Tamil Nadu during last three years and the current year are as below: Date (As on) 01.04.2023 01.04.2024 01.04.2025 01.03.2026 No. of LPG Distributors in Tamil Nadu 1638 1642 1651 1658 *As on 31st March of respective Financial year. Source: IOCL on behalf of PSU OMCs The district-wise details of number of LPG distributors available in state of Tamil Nadu are given in the enclosed Statement. Dharmapuri Parliamentary Constituency covers Dharmapuri and Salem districts and is served by a total of 110 LPG distributors of Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) including 88 rural (Rurban, Gramin and Durgam Kshetriya Vitrak (DKV)) distributors. To further improve last-mile delivery in remote and underserved 12.03.2026 611 habitations, OMCs have taken several measures, including commissioning of rural and remote-area distributorships, appointment of Common Service Center - Village Level Entrepreneur (CSC VLEs), use of technology for order booking and tracking. OMCs have 58 numbers of CSC VLEs in these aforesaid 02 districts to ensure the last mile availability of LPG. To enhance consumer empowerment and improve service transparency, IVRS/SMS refill booking system has been implemented across the Country in all LPG distributorships. Under this system, consumers receive SMS notifications at key stages — refill booking, cash memo generation, and refill delivery —which allows them to track their transactions and report any cases of wrong or non-delivery. In addition, Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have introduced the Delivery Authentication Code (DAC).

THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI): (a) and (b): Government engages contractors for project works implementation through a transparent and competitive bidding process in accordance with the prescribed procurement guidelines. In certain cases, bids have been received at rates far lower than the estimated project cost put to 12.03.2026 625 tender, primarily due to competitive market conditions and aggressive bidding strategies adopted by the bidders. To safeguard the interests of the Government and to ensure that quality standards are not compromised, suitable provisions have been incorporated in the bidding documents including requirement of Additional Performance Security. Further, all works are executed strictly in accordance with the relevant codes/manuals prescribed. Independent Engineers/Authority Engineers and regular field inspections ensure supervision and adherence to quality standards at every stage of construction. Independent Quality Audit is also taken up in certain projects where required. Accordingly, necessary safeguards are in place to ensure that competitive bidding does not adversely impact the quality of National Highway works.

The instances of poor quality have been observed even in bids without discount. It may be mentioned that the quality of work primarily gets affected based on quality of raw materials, quality of equipment, level of supervision, Quality Control measures and experience of 12.03.2026 626 workers/ engineers at the site. (d): In 2019, relaxations in qualification criteria for Contractors / Concessionaires were given to promote competition. However, in 2025, the Government tightened the qualification criteria for bidding for NHs works under Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) and Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) modes, to prevent potential issues related to construction timelines and quality due to aggressive bidding. The modifications inter-alia include raising the minimum financial and technical requirement for bidders, introducing greater checks on sub-contracting experience and modification of the highways and core sector definitions. Further, provision of Additional Performance Bank Guarantee has been made stringent. (e): Tenders are generally accepted or rejected based on qualification criteria as specified in Request for Proposal (RFP) in accordance with the guidelines and General Financial Rules GFR as per the recommendation of the tender evaluation Committee.

The decision on revision in their guidelines will depend upon the approval of the EFC by Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance and the Cabinet. (d) and (e): The Union Government has taken several steps to ensure strict implementation of scheme guidelines and to create awareness among Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities about various tribal development schemes. Regular monitoring and review of schemes is undertaken in coordination with States/UTs, and nodal officers have been designated in concerned Ministries/Departments to facilitate effective implementation and reporting. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) maintains continuous engagement with 12.03.2026 631 obligated Ministries/Departments to ensure proper implementation of tribal development initiatives. For effective monitoring of allocations under the Development Action Plan for Scheduled Tribes (DAPST), scheme/programme-wise allocations by Ministries/Departments are reflected in Statement 10B of the Union Budget, which provides ministry-wise allocations for the welfare of Scheduled Tribes. Further, Statement 10BB and Statement 10BBB provide dedicated information on allocations for PM-JANMAN and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA) respectively. To ensure proper accounting and non- diversion of funds, allocations under DAPST are reflected by Ministries/Departments under the minor head ‘796’ in their Detailed Demands for Grants. An online monitoring system (https://stcmis.gov.in) has been developed by MoTA for tracking DAPST funds. The system captures data directly from the Public Finance Management System (PFMS) and enables real-time monitoring of expenditure vis-à-vis allocations by different Ministries/Departments. In addition, interactive dashboards on the PM Gati Shakti portal provide ministry- wise and intervention-wise progress monitoring using real-time data, enabling targeted planning and gap analysis for Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). To create awareness and strengthen grassroots implementation, large- scale Information, Education and Communication (IEC) campaigns, service delivery camps, Gram Sabha meetings and community outreach programmes 12.03.2026 632 are organized. Initiatives such as the Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA) and the Dharti Aaba Janbhagidari Abhiyan focus on last- mile service delivery and awareness through camps and community engagement across tribal areas. Capacity-building programmes such as Adi Karmyogi are also being implemented to train officials and stakeholders involved in tribal development programmes and to improve service delivery at the grassroots level. The Ministry has undertaken two missions for development of STs through convergence of funds available with different Ministries/Departments under DAPST namely - Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyay Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN) and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyaan. PM JANMAN: Government launched Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN) for socio-economic development of 75 PVTG communities residing in 18 states and one UT. The mission aims to provide basic facilities such as safe housing, clean drinking water and improved access to education, health and nutrition, road and telecom connectivity, electrification of unelectrified households and sustainable livelihood opportunities in 3 years. These objectives are planned to be met through 11 interventions including Hostels and Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) implemented by 9-line Ministries. PM JANMAN has total budgetary outlay of Rs.24,104 Cr (Central share: ₹15336 Cr and State share: ₹8768 Cr). Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA) : Hon'ble PM launched Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA) on 2nd 12.03.2026 633 October, 2024.
