Hyderabad, Sept. 7: Four years after the Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, promised daily water supply to the city, the Water Board is finally making arrangements to provide two-hour drinking water supply every day to the citizens in the core city from November 1. However, lakhs of citizens in the erstwhile 12 surrounding municipalities on the outskirts will continue to get supply only twice a week even after it.
Though these municipalities were merged with the core city over a year ago to form Greater Hyderabad, the government has been concentrating on facilities in the core city leaving those living on the outskirts high and dry. People complained they were yet to get any major benefits from the merger.
