SANGAREDDY: The public representatives in the district said that they could not move in villages if the drinking water problem was not addressed immediately. They asked the district administration to take all the required steps.
The special review meeting held at Sangareddy on Wednesday became the venue for pouring out the problems in their respective constituencies and the apathy of the administration.
The meeting was presided over by Zilla Parishat chairman M. Balaiah and reviewed by Information Minister J. Geeta Reddy and Minor Irrigation Minister V. Sunitha Lakshma Reddy.
MLAs P. Kishta Reddy, Ch. Muthyam Reddy and T. Nandeeswar Goud said that the drinking water problem was serious and it could become severe in future. They also pointed at the lack of coordination between Irrigation and Rural Water Supply Departments blaming that it was leading to crisis. Mr. Kishta Reddy demanded that Singoor water should not be released to irrigation purpose till the rainfall commences. “Singoor is meeting the drinking water requirements in many constituencies in addition to Hyderabad. Unless water release to irrigation was stopped it is not possible to meet the demand,” he said. The MLAs also expressed concern over power shortage. Ms. Geeta Reddy directed the officials to implement Water, Land and Tree Act without compromise when Muthyam Reddy pointed out about digging borewells without prescribed gap has been leading to problems. Police was deployed to prevent untoward incidents.
