Puducherry CM V Narayanasamy
Chief Minister V Narayanasamy on Saturday said Union Environment Ministry has approved a Rs 40 crore drinking water proposal by Puducherry government by treating water from Ousteri lake and supplying it to meet requirements in Puducherry and Oulgaret Municipal limits. Talking to reporters, he said that the project to utilise the water from the Ousteri, a major water body in Puducherry, was evolved five years ago. However Union Environment Ministry disapproved it on the ground that the scheme would disturb the bird sanctuary in the lake.
“We have now clarified in our proposal to the Central Environment Ministry that the government would take steps to protect the sanctuary while implementing the project.”, he said.
