“The government has decided that water bills will now be mandatory during property registration. This step will ensure that dues are not carried forward indefinitely and that accountability is fixed at the time of transfer of ownership,” a senior government official said, adding that the proposal was discussed and in principle approval was granted during the last board meeting held on September 26. A report on implementation of the plan has been sought.
