At the same time as a proposal was raised to eliminate the budgets of some infrastructure projects in order to cover war-related expenses, local officials in Ardabil and Razavi Khorasan provinces reported a lack of financial resources, the deterioration of water networks, and water stress in dozens of areas.

“Ali Khazraian,” a member of parliament, had on Sunday, 11 Mordad 1405, proposed that for war funding and the construction of shelters and secure tunnels for managers, the budgets of infrastructure projects, including the sewage network of county towns, be removed. He claimed that people in the county towns would not notice the reduction of this budget.
