RR collector seeks contingency plans for water supply

With summering fast approaching, Ranga Reddy district collector M Raghunandan Rao has directed the Rural Water Supply (RWS) officials to take necessary steps to supply drinking water to rural areas. Raghunandan also asked the RWS superintendent engineer to respond immediately on the action plans prepared by assistant engineers and speed up the repair works of existing borewells.

He advised officials to hire private borewells to ensure uninterrupted water supply. The collector held a review meeting with mandal level special officers in court hall of the collector office on Thursday and discussed various issues. On the occasion, special officers brought the issue of water scarcity in rural areas to the notice of the collector.

Commenting on the delay in supply of mid-day meal rice to schools and hostels from MLS points, he directed civil supplies manager to take necessary steps for ample supply of rice. “There should not be any mistakes in the preparation of the eligibility list of Kalyanalaxmi, the State Government’s pet programme,” the collector said.
