Reportedly an RTI filed by an activist in hyderabad highlights the dire situation of the impending water crisis in the city. Meanwhile according to the RTI, between March 1 and July 15, water tankers of the hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) made a staggering 3,99,044 trips to domestic households and apartments. It also made 1,90,145 trips to commercial establishments.
When speaking to TNM, Sai Teja, head of Social Media and Public Relations, at the Forum against Corruption (FAC), who filed the RTI, said, "This clearly proves wrong the idea of officials that the city is water sufficient. The coming summers are only going to get worse if we don't change our ways." Furthermore ntr Nagar in hyderabad saw the most number of domestic trips made by tankers, with the figure standing at 24,052.
Moreover there are also private tankers that operate in the city, which charge more than the HMWSSB, but also see a lot of demand, especially in the months of May and June. Perhaps the RTI also shows that the HMWSSB made a whopping Rs 6,74,27,509 from the domestic trips that it made, and Rs 10,96,42,196 for the commercial ones.
