Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has vowed to immediately advance the second phase of Melamchi Drinking Water Project and also to bring water from Yangri and Larke rivers.
Water from the Melamchi rivulet at Helambu rural municipality-1 in Sindhupalchowk district has reached the capital a week ago through a tunnel at Ambathan.
A memorandum has been submitted to Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba today, seeking a long-term solution to the drinking water problem in the Kathmandu Valley.
