SECUNDERABAD: Good news to residents of the Secunderabad Cantonment. Chief minister K Chandrasekhara Rao has agreed to extend the 20-KL free water supply scheme in the Secunderabad Cantonment too. The similar free water scheme had already been implemented in Greater Hyderabad, for the past one year.
On Friday evening, the Secunderabad Cantonment TRS MLA, G Sayanna met CM K Chandrasekhar Rao at Pragathi Bhavan, and urged to extend the 20 Kilo Liters (KL) free water supply scheme.
The CM then asked the Telangana chief secretary Somesh Kumar to take all necessary measures and efforts to implement the free water scheme, as early as possible, Secunderabad Cantonment MLA G Sayanna told TOI.
Soon after the CM’s announcement, TRS party cadre at MLA’s camp office busted the crackers.
With KCR’s announcement, nearly 20,000 consumers in the Secunderabad Cantonment will be benefited. According to the scheme, consumers need not pay the water bills up to 20 KL. The SCB who was earning Rs 1.10 crore revenue through water bills, now will lose.
The HMWS&SB is supplying a total of 60 lakh gallons of water per day (LGPD) to the Secunderabad Cantonment under ‘bulk’ category and SCB in turn supplying potable water through its distribution network to the Cantonment residents.
