First 24x7 electricity, now 24x7 water [1]

Imagine 24X7 drinking water supply in all households of urban Gujarat! The unthinkable in this semi-arid state will start at Morbi, a water-starved Saurashtra town, where 34,000 metered connections will start providing round-the-clock drinking water to the entire town in two years. Gandhinagar town, which already has good pipelines, may be even quicker. After the state government has made 24-hour electricity supply possible in Gujarat villages, it is now planning an encore in the water supply front also.
