Directive to GVMC on water supply to VSP
At a high-level meeting in Hyderabad on Thursday on
water supply for Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, Chief Secretary I.Y.R.
Krishna Rao asked GVMC to maintain a supply of 32 to 33 MGD, the quantum
being given during the past two to three days, daily. Sources said RINL
wanted that the Yeleru canal be de-silted so as to improve supply, as
otherwise the plant would face a critical situation.
RINL
CMD P. Madhusudhan, district Collector N. Yuvaraj, Municipal
Commissioner M.V. Satyanarayana, and APIIC officials participated in the
meeting.
Sources said the GVMC was assessing the
situation as supplying even 30 MGD would result in a shortfall of 5 MGD
to 6 MGD for domestic supply.
