Minister for Law, Justice and Minority Welfare N. Md. Farook has instructed the municipal officials of Nandyal to ensure that proper steps are taken to tackle the drinking water crisis looming ahead, in view of the scorching summer.
The Minister visited the 150 acre site earmarked for the construction of an additional summer storage tank on the outskirts of the town under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme, where he directed the municipal engineering officials to present a status report.
“Ever since Nandyal became a district headquarters, the population increased immensely, posing extreme pressure on drinking water supply system. It is in this backdrop that the need for additional tank gains importance,” he observed.
