Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy directed officials to prevent waterlogging on roads within the limits of the three municipal corporations in Hyderabad core urban region (CURE).
Reviewing the earlier decision to construct water harvesting wells at 141 identified waterlogging points in Hyderabad, he was informed that 11 wells were complete while work on the remaining sites was underway.
He directed special chief secretary Jayesh Ranjan to ensure the works are expedited and reviewed regularly. Revanth Reddy also emphasised close coordination among the three municipal commissioners in the CURE region and the police commissioners of Hyderabad, Cyberabad and adjoining urban jurisdictions to address monsoon-related challenges effectively.
The Chief Minister instructed officials to prepare a comprehensive contingency plan to ensure there is no shortage of drinking water anywhere in the state, including Hyderabad, even if drought conditions prevail. Officials informed him that there were currently no drinking water concerns.
Revanth Reddy directed that water allocations be managed appropriately for drinking water, power generation, irrigation and industrial needs depending on evolving conditions. He also asked the energy department to stock necessary equipment in advance for the monsoon season and ensure immediate restoration of power supply whenever transformers are damaged or power lines snap due to strong winds or heavy rains.
