Taking note of the deficit monsoon and the ensuing drinking water crisis in the rural areas of Kalaburagi district, Bhanwar Singh Meena, Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Panchayat, appointed nodal officers at district and taluk levels to monitor the drinking water supply and opened helplines allowing the people to contact authorities for any water-related complaints or requests.
He directed the taluk level officials to promptly and quickly pass on any request or complaint received through helplines to Assistant Executive Engineers of Rural Drinking Water and Sanitation Department and Panchayat Development Officers of the concerned Gram Panchayats who should attend them immediately.
He also directed the officials concerned to take up water supply pipeline repair, cleaning water storage facilities such as over head tanks, cleaning roadside drains on daily basis and get the drinking water tested in laboratory before supplying it to households.
