Otherwise in future photographs of streams and ponds would have to be shown. Instead of giving properties to children it is better to ensure water to them as life would be difficult without water’. She underlined the importance of every house opting for rainwater harvesting structure. Bachupally president Pandu, EO Raj Kumar, ZP chairperson Prabhakar participitated in the programme.
