Hyderabad: Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) will be the first Cantonment in the country to receive free drinking water supply, said Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav.

“Out of the 62 Cantonment Boards in the country, the SCB in the Telangana is the only Cantonment board where every household will receive 20,000 litres free drinking water per month,” he said here on Wednesday.

“Though the State government incurs an expenditure of around Rs 1.50 crore per month due to the implementation of this scheme, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has decided to implement the Free Drinking Water Scheme in SCB limits to benefit the poor families here,” said Srinivas Yadav.

He also criticised the union government for not sanctioning funds and closing the roads falling under SCB jurisdiction. “Despite collecting taxes from those residing in SCB, it is unfortunate the union government has not sanctioned funds for the development of the area. On top of it, they close the roads for civilians,” he said.

Also, he said, Rs 3 crore for the development of Ramannakunta Lake, Rs 10 crore for strengthening of Patny nala and Rs 25 crore for building a hospital in Bollarum have been sanctioned.

“There are around four lakh people in SCB, and though the board is completely under the control of union government, all the State government schemes including Kalyana Lakshmi/ Shaadi Mubarak, Aasara pension are being extended to people living in SCB,” added Srinivas Yadav.
