Jal Jeevan scheme probe finds contractor paid despite failed water supply in Madhya Pradesh

A probe into the Jal Jeevan Mission in Madhya Pradesh has uncovered irregularities where contractors were paid despite failing to deliver water supply to intended households. The investigation indicates payments were released without ensuring the completion of water connection work.

The findings suggest procedural lapses in project monitoring and fund disbursement under the central government's flagship scheme aimed at providing safe drinking water to rural households across India.
