Telangana is the Only State who provides Safe Drinking Water: Srinivas Goud
Mahabubnagar: Excise Minister Dr. V Srinivas Goud said that Telangana state is the only state in the country that is providing safe drinking water to each and every household through taps through a centralized Mission Bhagiratha Water distribution network.
He was taking part in a freshwater festival ceremony marking the decennial celebrations of Telangana Formation Day at Manayam Konda Mission Bhageeratha filter house on Sunday.
The Minister said that Telangana is the only state that provides 100 percent fresh water to households and 80 percent protected good water supply to the people. “Before the formation of Telangana, each and every village, town and even the district headquarters had to face water problems. But, that problem no longer exists. Under the leadership of CM KCR, women who used to travel several kilometers to fetch a pot of water are now getting safe water at their doorsteps,” said the minister.
The minister informed that the decennial celebrations are being used to showcase the achievements of the state government. He said the Mission Bhagiratha project was one of the most important successful projects being implemented by the state government, benefitting the people in a big way. Marking this achievement the government decided to conduct ‘Freshwater Festival’ celebrations at all the Mission filtering plants in the state.
