Hyderabad: Residents seek regular water supply 7.11.2019

Hyderabad: Residents of Goods Shed Nampally claimed that they had been facing shortage of drinking water for the past twenty days. Moreover, there is no fixed time for water supply.

They get water only two or three days in a week, while Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&amp;SB) supplies water every alternate day in other areas.

Residents said that despite having made repeated complaints to HMWS&amp;SB, their problems are yet to be addressed.

Earlier, water would be released around midnight and now-a-days they are not sure at what time it will come creating problems for families. Adding to the discomfort is that the pressure is low.

Meanwhile, Board officials admitted that there is a problem as Asif Nagar Filter Bed is not getting sufficient water from the reservoirs.

Thiruvananthapuram: Some 1.5 lakh free public taps in the rural areas of the state are going to disappear. Drinking water will now carry a price for the marginalised people as well. This is being done under the guise of Union government&#39;s Jal Jeevan Mission providing drinking water to all rural homes.

On Oct 2, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced Jal Jeevan Mission aiming to give functional tap-water to every household in the country by 2024. Union Jal Shakti minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat had convened a daylong meeting of state water resources ministers and senior officials in August and asked them to prepare a roadmap. The BJP government launched the project as a challenging mission after the successful Swachh Bharat Mission. A KWA official said it aims at providing piped potable water to 55 lakh connections in the next five years in Kerala alone. "Currently, there are ...
