Ensure quality of RO plants, says VMC chief

Municipal Commissioner C. Hari Kiran instructed the civic officials to procure the best quality equipment for the Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants to be established under the first phase of NTR Sujala Sravanthi scheme in different parts of the city.

In a review meeting on the subject at Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) office on Monday, Mr. Kiran said RO plants were to be set up in 10 divisions (8, 9, 13, 14, 26, 43, 45, 54, 56 and 57) in the initial phase for which lands were already identified. The officials should ensure that the RO plants did not hinder movement of vehicles while ensuring easy accessibility.

A sum of Rs. 14 lakh was sanctioned for construction of sheds in the respective divisions and Rs 10 lakh for providing bore-wells. Quality should be ensured lest penal action should be taken against the derelict officers, he warned.

VMC Superintending engineer Md. Imam Mohiddin, City Planner S. Chakrapani, Chief Medical Officer P. Ratnavali and Assistant City Planner V. Suneetha were among the participants.
