Hyderabad: Jalamandali MD M Dana Kishore said that vertical water treatment plants which use modern technology will be started to address water scarcity in the city. He was speaking at a review meeting with Jalamandali officials at Jalamandali office in Hafizpet on Tuesday.

Speaking at the meeting, Dana Kishore said Jalamandali has been taking necessary measures to address drinking water scarcity in Qutbullapur and Serilingampally areas. The areas are facing acute shortage of water as water supply from Manjira and Singur has stopped and to meet the water needs of the areas 5 MLD of additional water is being supplied from Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar reservoirs, he said.

Apart from additional supply, 30 water tankers have been made available 24 hours a day to supply water to the areas, he said. Dana Kishore said that the ground water also hit bottom and most of borewells in Qutbullapur and Serilingampally have dried up. Later, he inaugurated two modern vertical water treatment plants with the capacity of 2 MLD at Manikonda and Puppalguda.

At a teleconference held prior to the review meeting, Dana Kishore instructed Jalamandali officials to provide water to the affected areas through water tankers. He suggested the officials to address the complaints which are posted in social media such as Twitter and Facebook immediately.

He ordered the officials to speed up the manhole construction works in the city which are taken up along the 2,000 km water lines. Jalamandali Operations Director P Ravi, Technical Director VL Praveen Kumar, CGMs, GMs, managers and others participated in the review meeting.
