The Centre is tightening its grip on the Jal Jeevan Mission, halting fund releases until states address corruption and irregularities. Following a high-level review and deployment of nodal officers, action has been taken against hundreds of officials and contractors, with FIRs lodged in several states. A scheme-based funding model will replace lump sums to ensure accountability.
