Drinking water problem severe in Uravakonda: CPI(M)

ANANTAPUR, APRIL 2. The drinking water problem has assumed serious proportions in a majority of the villages of the Uravakonda constituency but the State Government has turned a blind eye on the situation, the district secretary of the CPI(M), G. Obulakonda Reddy, has alleged.

Talking to newspersons here on Friday, he said that they had been visiting villages in the constituency for the last 20 days as part of campaigning for their candidate, Y. Visveswar Reddy, contesting from the segment and came to know of the severity of the problem. He said women of Chintalampalli in Guntakal rural mandal were waiting for almost 12 hours for their turn to fetch a pot of drinking water from the lone borewell, which was in the process of becoming defunct due to lack of groundwater.
