24/7 Drinking Water Will Be Available in Khammam, says Minister Tummala

Laying the foundation stone for the construction of a CC road worth Rs 50.25 lakh in the 35th division of Khammam, he stressed the need to prioritise the supply of clean drinking water. 

He recalled that Rs 220



crore had been sanctioned to Khammam under the AMRUT scheme to upgrade the water supply system. 

Officials and public representatives, he said, must sit together and prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the drinking water works. 

Tenders for AMRUT works should be issued in December, with the aim of completing them before next summer to prevent water shortages.
