Congress MP endorses BRS argument on STPs for cleaning Musi

Hyderabad: Call political oversight or anything, Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy has literally endorsed what Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has been arguing over Musi riverfront development project, especially with regard to ensuring flow of treated water in the river.
During the second day of Seoul visit on Tuesday, the Congress MP from Bhongir visited the Seoul Water Treatment Plant. In a video posted on X, the MP is seen saying that the purpose of the visit was to learn how sewage was to be treated.
The MP explains that there are four treatment plants in Seoul and every day five million tonnes litres water is treated daily. “About 50 percent of treated water is released back into the river and 50 percent is used for drinking and other purposes,” Kiran Kumar Reddy says in the video.

The Congress MP’s assertion has raised quite a few eyebrows among political circles here, as the BRS party leaders have been crying hoarse that the biggest part of River Musi rejuvenation works during the BRS rule was setting up 31 STPs at a cost of Rs 3866 crore. These STPs were under different stages of construction and are expected to be completd by this year end. Of these, a few commenced operations during the BRS tenure and a couple of them were inaugurated by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy recently.
Making a detailed presentation on River Musi project and the works taken up by the past government, former MAUD Minister KT Rama Rao had even said once the STPs were made operational, Hyderabad would be the first city in South Asia to achieve this, ensuring no untreated water flowed into the Musi River.

He had also explained plans to link the Godavari River to Musi through the Kaleshwaram project, permanently solving the wastewater issue.
However, in sharp contrast to the BRS working president’s presentation, the Congress MP claimed that the Chief Minister had set up the STPs and was working onto ensure flow of treated water in River Musi. He went onto appeal to the opposition parties to support in establishing STPs for cleaning River Musi.
