The Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra on Monday instructed the officials at all taluks in the district to ensure drinking water availability in villages and areas affected by drought.
Chairing the District Disaster Management Authority meeting he said summer had already set in and some of the taluks were declared drought-affected where the water scarcity would be more severe. Hence, all measures should be taken to ensure that water supply was not affected at any cost, said Mr. Rajendra.
