CM assures 4-hour water supply in Hyderabad
By Editor on Oct 2, 2007 in Hyderabad City
HYDERABAD: Chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy on Sunday assured 2-4 hour daily water supply to residents of the twin cities in the next couple of months.
The CM inaugurated the Nalgonda crossroads flyover and a couple of parks at Saroornagar and the Rajiv Gandhi park at Vanasthalipuram on Sunday. “The government will ensure all localities in the twin cities get minimum four-hour water supply every day,” he announced, while addressing people at the inaugural functions.
The Nalgonda crossroads flyover was built at a cost of Rs 11 crore. Mild tension prevailed at the inaugural as Congress leaders who gathered in large numbers tried to enter the premises and police had to use mild force to control them. At one stage, the situation turned tense as police caned the onlookers who gathered on the busy main road.
He said the government was spending Rs 26,000 crore on several infrastructure projects like the Metro Railway Transport System (MRTS), Outer Ring Road (ORR), the elevated PV Expressway and flyovers.
The park at Vanasthalipuram, spread over 5.5 acre and set up at a cost of Rs 1.9 crore, has an ornamented landscape with lawn and paved pathways for walkers. The Saroornagar park, built on the lines of a park in Paris at a cost of Rs 10 crore, has a friendship tower, laughing teddy bear, pathways, an educational centre and a play area for children besides a boating facility.
The Saroornagar park was funded under the Green Hyderabad Environment Project by the Netherlands government.

Sir,
This is regarding irregularities in water supply in Santosh Nagar /
Saidabad region on communal basis. On Muslim festival days water is
being supplied for more time than normal. On Hindu festival days,
water supply is being stopped before normal time. This has been
observed for at least for the last 30 years. The latest incidence has
been on Shivratri day when the water supply was cut off well before
the usual time. Today, being Milad un Nabi, water was supplied for
extra time. Tomorrow, March 22 is HOLI. Specific instructions may
kindly be given to ensure water supply on par with Muslim festival
days.
