18 june, Khotang- As many as 84 households have been benefitted from a drinking water project implemented at Ratamata in Diprung Chuichumma rural municipality-1, Yamkha.
The project was constructed at the cost of Rs 4.03 million which includes Rs 3.25 million appropriated from the rural municipality in the fiscal year 2075/76 BS and mobilization of people’s kind labour worth amounting to Rs 778,486.
Drinking water is being supplied to the houses through meter-installed taps.
