The villagers who blocked the Chegunta-Medak road protesting lack of drinking water supply, had said that officials and elected representatives were not responding to their pleas.
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka directed the officials in this regard, stating that supply of drinking water from distant places would require frequent repairs and maintenance due to damages to pipelines laid for several kilometres.
The minister further told the officials to prevent inconvenience to the public due to floods and heavy rains. She asked them to take steps to avoid human loss.
The Mission Bhagiratha department reassured that the State currently has an ample water supply, effectively meeting the required demand through Mission Bhagiratha.
In a statement BJP spokesperson NV Subhash said though the probe agencies had submitted their reports to the government, the government was neither taking action against the accused nor making the reports public.
Except a few, almost all water bodies have dried up due to the drought as well as the non-lifting of water from the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project.
Citing the hardships being faced by farmers across the State due to lack of irrigation water and quality power supply, the BRS president said it was much more than a natural calamity, and was a man-made and government-made calamity.
Aditya told the officials to inspect the supply of water being provided to each house under Mission Bhagiratha and asked them to address the problems if any.
When the BRS was in power, Smitha Sabharwal used to monitor the supply on a daily basis. But the Congress government was not ensuring such supervision.
