Water is life: Seven states have so far said ‘no’ to tariff hikes but the water insfrastructure issue needs to be studied further.

PETALING JAYA: The “who’s” wanting to raise water rates seems to be a fluid topic with several states declaring they have no plans to do so.

Following Wednesday’s announc­e­­ment by Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Dr A. Xavier Jayakumar that six states have agreed to raise their charges, a number of states have now made known they are not on that list.
