Nizamabad: People of the two districts Nizamabad and Kamareddy are facing immense hardships due to the water crisis that has hit them during this summer. People living in the remote corners of the villages are finding it extremely difficult to get water for drinking and irrigation purposes and they are forced to trek more than 1 km to fetch a pail of water. Water has become a scarce commodity in several mandals, villages and hamlets in the two districts.
With temperatures soaring, the severity of water crisis has been escalating as the ground water resources are depleting at a fast rate. After walking for long distances, people are collecting water from bore wells and using them for drinking purposes.
Although the State government has chalked out an action plan to tide over the water scarcity in the two districts at an estimated cost of Rs 1 crore, it rained only on paper and the government has not released even a single pie for the purpose. Even the ponds are drying up.
The water crisis has taken a serious turn in Kamareddy, Banswada and Yellareddy constituencies. The severity is even more in the villages of Gandhari mandal. The drinking water problem has become acute in Naklur thanda, Golli thanda, Katevadi thanda and Vaddepalli thanda in Sadashivnagar mandal.
People living in the 20 hamlets in Reddipet village of Ramareddy mandal. People are getting water supply every alternate day for an hour in the Lingampet mandal headquarters. Water is being supplied through tankers in Chandapalli and Devaipur villages of Tadvai mandal.
People living in several villages within Jukkal mandal like Gulla thanda, Vithalvaadi and Shivapur villages are facing the problem of water shortage. The situation is no different in Madnoor mandal. They have to start struggling for water from 4 AM.
Pouring out her woes to The Hans India here on Wednesday, Kamalamma, a resident of Vithalwadi said that water crisis has become very acute during this Summer and expressed the hope that the officials concerned would supply water to them through tankers and quench their thirst.
