As someone who has family in the armed forces, I know how important such basic facilities are. Water scarcity in border areas is a real issue. Hope more such projects come up across all border states.

36 lakh rupees for one tube well seems quite expensive. While the initiative is good, I hope there was proper transparency in the spending. Our tax money should be used wisely.

Jai Hind! Our border forces sacrifice so much for our safety. Clean water is a basic necessity that should have been provided long back. Better late than never though 🇮🇳
