Special teams to identify areas prone to drinking water shortage
The Tiruchirapalli City Corporation has formed special teams to identify areas which are likely to face short supply in drinking water during the summer and initiate remedial measures.
Speaking at a consultative meeting on Monday to discuss arrangements to be made to ensure adequate drinking water supply during the summer, V.P.Thandapani, Corporation Commissioner, said the teams have been formed in view of the deficit in rainfall during the monsoon last year. Teams will be formed in all 65 wards in the city and they would identify areas prone for shortage of drinking water and initiate remedial measures such as sinking borewells, repair of existing borewells, and installation of mini power pumps. Besides, 24-hour control rooms are also functioning in all the four zones of the Corporation to monitor the situation.
