Parliamentary panel expresses concern over Jal Jeevan Mission missing 2024 deadline

A parliamentary panel has raised concerns that the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) may miss its December 2024 deadline to provide tap water to all rural households in India. Only 11 states and UTs have achieved 'Har Ghar Jal' status since the mission's launch in 2019. Several states are performing below the national average under JJM.
