Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Enugu State, yesterday, canvassed speedy passage of the state’s water bill, even as they resolved to tackle and end water scarcity in the metropolis.
The state’s situation grew worse this year, as residents experienced difficulty in accessing water for domestic use and resorted to buying water from vendors at exorbitant rates.
But at a workshop on Human Right To Water And Accountability In Enugu State Water Sector, organised by Claim Your Water Right Team, led by Hope Spring Water Charity Foundation, they lamented that delay in the passage of the bill had worsened the water situation of the state.
With tourism having commenced in the temple town, visitors can now take a tour of the Shore Temple, Pancha Rathas and Krishna’s Butter Ball.
“The public can visit the monuments from 8 am to 5.30 pm everyday. Tickets will be issued from 8 am to 5 pm and the number of visitors will be limited to 2000 per day”, an official from the Mahabalipuram branch of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) told Indianexpress.com.
Tickets can be purchased both online and offline and visitors can pay for the same through cash or e-wallets.
“Temperatures will be checked at the entrance to the monuments and masks have to be worn at all times”, added the official.
