Chandigarh, Apr 26 (PTI) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday directed forest department officials to build as many check dams as possible in the hilly forest areas so that water can be conserved during monsoon and the groundwater level can be maintained.
He also told officials not to compromise with quality at any cost during the construction of check dams and directed them to assess the current condition of all the old check dams and repair them, according to an official statement.
