In Tandur constituency, people are facing hardships due to inadequate water supply. This was disclosed by Congress MLA B Manohar Reddy in the Assembly last week.

Apart from borewells drying up, inadequate supply through Mission Bhagiratha has added to the problems, with people in several villages facing severe hardships.

“In Tandur town, about 14 MLD of water had to be supplied, but not even 10 MLD is being supplied. The same situation is prevailing in every village. Our constituency borders Karnataka and, at times, water is supplied once in three to four days through Mission Bhagiratha,” Manohar Reddy said.

Similarly, a few other MLAs complained that the Mission Bhagiratha scheme, which was launched by the previous government, was not functioning properly.

Congress MLA from Achampet C Vamshi Krishna said the Mission Bhagiratha scheme was not functioning properly in Nagarkurnool district. Referring to his constituency, he said people were facing drinking water problems even during the rainy season.

“The government should initiate measures to address drinking water issues in all villages,” Vamshi Krishna said.
