New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said that his government will fulfill the goal of supplying piped water to all households in the city by 2017.
In an interaction with meter readers, inspectors and senior officials of Delhi Jal Board (DJB), he lauded the Board officials for "innovative solution" to meet the water needs of Delhi residents.
