Longding, Nov 28: MLA Longding, Tanpho Wangnaw inaugurated the Niausa Village water supply project under Jal Jeevan Mission at Naiusa village in  Longding District. The project will cover 175 households of the village.
The MLA appreciated the efforts of the PHED department towards addressing the issue of water scarcity. He said the inauguration of the water supply project is a cherished dream for the villagers that was long overdue. “It is like a dream come true for the villagers. The present government is endeavouring hard and is committed to ensure that the issue of water scarcity in the district is resolved soon," he said.
Deputy Commissioner Longding, Bani Lego said that the project will not just add to the convenience  of the people but also will lead to saving of time and thereby will have a multiplier effect in the development process of the area.    
He added that such kind of developmental activities and initiatives should be appreciated and celebrated by all together. "The entire Niausa will be covered under the JJM scheme in a phase wise manner" he added.
Speaking at the occasion Er Tage Nipa Executive Engineer PHED informed that it was a humongous task as the length of the pumping main is 2.10Km and the water had to be lifted to the height of 503 mtr vertically. He also said that this was one of the three projects under Jal Jeevan Mission which have been completed and the works on other two projects to provide Water Supply at Zatting and Taying Zong is ongoing and will be completed soon in the days to come.  
Nipa said that as there is no land compensation under JJM scheme, getting a land for the project is often challenging;  he appreciated the villagers of Niausa for donating the land for the project which helped in completion of the project successfully.
