Drainage water seeps into groundwater

Neredmet: Residents of Block 1 and 3 of Vinayak Nagar have been facing severe inconvenience as the drainage water from damaged pipelines is seeped into borewells polluting the groundwater. Despite several complaints to authorities concerned, the laying of drainage pipelines, the works for which were inaugurated six months ago, were never started. Although the pipes required for the work were brought to the site, the works were kept pending, the residents lamented.

They tried to approach the local corporator Pushpalatha Reddy and her husband Parushuram Reddy but to no avail. The residents expressed their anger at the corporator for not responding to their issues. Narsing Rao, a resident of Vinayak Nagar, appealed to MLA Mynampally Hanmanth Rao to intervene in the issue and instruct authorities concerned to address the issue at the earliest.
