Only 310 of the 1,422 projects under the Jal Jeevan Mission in Maharashtra's Raigad district are complete, an official said on Thursday.

Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, which was started on August 15, 2019, the Union government wants to supply 55 litres of tap water per person per household by 2024.

The amount for completion of all the projects related to the scheme in Raigad stands at Rs 1,200 crore, of which Rs 207 crore has been made available by the government, he said.

An amount of Rs 70 crore that district authorities sought from the state government is yet to be sanctioned, he added.
