following aspects: (i) establishing a system for regular billing and collection of the tariffs, (ii) minor repairing not<br />
under DWASA responsibilities, and (iii) reducing water losses and pollution.<br />
To develop the ability of “Turag Samity” to be able to both negotiate with DWASA and address other management<br />
aspects, which can be achieved through training that should be followed-up every few years. After capacity<br />
building efforts, the people of Block A could independently assume these important responsibilities, and a similar<br />
arrangement may be extended to all the blocks, leading to better application of institutional issues.<br />
