It also demanded completion of the project of supply of Chenab River Water for Jammu City. In a press statement issued here today, president of the forum R K Chadha said, "Change in The Mid-Day Meal project for better service and food to children was a long time demand of Forum which was never accepted by any government." He added, "Under the Akshay-Patra Foundation Mid-Day Meal Scheme implemented by many states in the country, NGO provide mid-day meal to 1.76 million school children in India with standard scientifically prepared food at a very low price. This should also be implemented in J&K schools as children here also deserve nutritious food. Citizen's Forum also demanded the project of supply of Chenab River water for Jammu City be finally completed.

No additional costs. Funds were available but being Jammu project no government allowed it. "The Project was changed for personal benefits by some leaders to bring water first to Muthi, filtered and then pumped up to Janipur and then supplied to city by gravity incurring recurring expenditure in the process. Project cost 1000 crores," he said. |
