Demand for a Long-Term Water Supply Solution<\/h2>\n
The councillors have requested the Municipal Corporation to prioritise the proposed purification system in the interest of public welfare. They believe that the proposed project would not only address the current water shortage but also help secure a sustainable supply of safe drinking water for the growing population of Mathura and Vrindavan.<\/p>\n
They have urged the civic administration to initiate the necessary administrative and technical processes at the earliest so that the project can be taken forward without unnecessary delay.<\/p>\n
