VMC survey on amenities
Municipal Commissioner G. Ravi Babu has asked officials
to conduct a survey on whether proper basic services such as drinking
water supply and roads and drainages are available to people in all
parts of the city.
It is also aimed at knowing whether the people are making proper use of these facilities created in city.
Addressing
a meeting of the engineering, urban planning, revenue, and public
health officials here on Thursday, Mr. Ravi Babu said huge funds under
the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission were being spent to create
and enhance quality of basic services. But there was a need for carrying
out a survey to know whether the people were able to enjoy the benefits
out of these works and initiatives completely, he added.
Mr.
Ravi Babu asked the assistant engineer, building inspector, bill
collector, and sanitary inspector level officials to form teams in this
connection and take upon this responsibility of survey. The official
teams should find out whether every house was having drinking water
connection and underground drainage connection and whether the residents
were making proper use of these services.
Mr. Ravi Babu said drinking water plants and reservoirs were constructed. A sewerage plant was proposed.
Chief
engineer Kondala Rao, superintending engineers Moses Kumar and
Venkateswara Rao, deputy commissioner Srinivasa Rao, executive engineers
and others were present.
