In a significant achievement, Meghalaya has exceeded the national average in Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTCs), marking a milestone in the state’s commitment to providing clean and accessible water to its residents. Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma shared the news, stating that Meghalaya has reached 4,71,544 FHTCs, accounting for an impressive 72.37%, which surpasses the national average of 72.1%.
