Chintal: The poor people can now access water connection at just Re1. The government came up with ‘one rupee water connection’ scheme to ensure poor people to avail water connections. The facility is now available at the GHMC office, Quthbullapur, said Satyanarayana, Executive Director, HMWS&SB, here on Wednesday.
Speaking on this, he said that the Chief Minister initiated Mission Bhagiratha scheme at the cost of Rs 1900 crores to the people in Quthbullapur, to ensure water connection.
