1. Which state has reinstated Rs 100 monthly water bills for rural residents?
Himachal Pradesh has reintroduced the policy of charging Rs 100 per month for water bills in rural areas, reversing the previous waiver introduced during Jairam Thakur's tenure. This decision is part of a broader government strategy to promote rural employment, including the development of billing rules for homestays, encouragement of natural farming, and support for rural self-employment.
