Haryana govt resolves power issue for ranney well scheme

The Haryana government has asked the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) to supply adequate electricity in Nuh district. Following the government directive, the power utility has assured to provide uninterrupted supply for at least 18 hours a day. This will boost the ranney well scheme in the state’s southern district where tube wells have been running for less time because of inadequate power supply. district administration officials said.

The ranney well scheme, one of the biggest drinking water projects in the state, was commissioned in 2004 but could not become operational due to power issues.

D.S. Dhesi, chief principal secretary to the chief minister, visited Ferozepur Jhirka in Nuh this week and asked officials to take steps for making the scheme operational, they added.
