Known for promoting inspiring stories and impactful governance initiatives, Mahindra recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to commend Puri's transformation into a city where residents can confidently drink water straight from the tap without the need for boiling, filtering, or purchasing bottled water.
In his post, Mahindra reflected on the irony that while rivers are deeply revered in India, people often hesitate to trust the water supplied to their homes. He wrote that Puri's achievement fascinated him, describing it as a remarkable example of how effective governance can improve everyday life.
