While there is an issue with the drinking water across Telangana, the farmers are having issue with water for irrigation.

Earlier the Chief Secretary had taken a review meeting of the officials and ordered them to take care of the drinking water problem in Hyderabad.

But the issue continued and there is severe problem for the drinking water in twin cities. Now the CM Revanth Reddy reviewed the water crisis.

He urged officials to utilise local water resources for drinking water needs in April, May and June, including bore wells and wells for drinking water purposes apart from tapping all nearby water sources.

Revanth instructed district collectors to prepare an action plan whereby people do not suffer any water crisis in summer.

A senior officer at the district level will be appointed as a special officer to oversee immediate actions to address drinking water problems.

He called for a village-wise drinking water action plan. Water tanks should be made available in all municipalities and municipal corporations, he said.

The Chief Minister ordered the officials to ensure that the water tankers booked by the consumers reach the destination within 12 hours.
