Pannala lays foundation for bore well

Mallapur: Local corporator Pannala Devender Reddy laid foundation stone for a new bore well worth Rs four lakh at Idgah of Durga Nagar on Thursday. There is a sizable Muslim population in the area that visits the Idgah and it was a pending demand from the people, said a local.

There is a lot of demand for water during the holy month of Ramazan. The Idgah gets just 40 per cent of the total demand of water and now a working borewell should come handy, said Riaz, a member. The residents of Mallapur have been reeling under water shortage and many do not have enough water storage facility.

GHMC assistant engineer Narsing Rao, works inspector Bhikshapathi, Ward Committee members T Srinivas Goud, Praveen, Md Hussain, Md Pasha, president of Minority Cell Md Bhasit Khan were present.
