Bandlaguda Jagir residents complain of contaminated drinking water supply
Residents of Bandlaguda Jagir, Hyderabad, are receiving contaminated drinking water despite a new water purification plant at Himayat Sagar. They blame the plant's inefficiency and have lodged formal complaints. While the Water Board official claims occasional muddy water is due to maintenance, locals are frustrated by the lack of clean water and the ongoing water crisis. The situation has led to protests by residents of Padmasri Hills Colony who have been facing this problem for nearly a decade. They accuse the water tanker mafia of exacerbating the issue by extracting groundwater illegally and selling it. They demand immediate action against the illegal operators and a permanent solution to the water crisis.10:09 PM Mar 27, 2025 IST
