Hyderabad: A Hyderabad resident received applause from the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) for his rainwater harvesting system.

Vinod Sri Bhashyam from Prakash Nagar, Motilal Nehru Nagar, constructed four recharge pits, which help collect rainwater from the rooftop and return it to the ground. The house also has a borewell, which preserves water during summer due to its systematic groundwater recharge, demonstrating the effectiveness of the rainwater harvesting system.

“These measures help improve groundwater levels, enhance the sustainability of borewells, conserve valuable water resources and reduce dependence on government drinking water supply and water tankers,” said Water Board Managing Director Ashok Reddy.

Telangana to source food for mid-day meals from local farmers

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy conducting a review meeting

Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday, July 24, said the state government is considering ways to support local farmers in areas where centralised kitchens of the mid-day meals scheme have been established.

The government is ready to encourage farmers to cultivate organic crops so that vegetables, rice, and other necessary supplies can be procured directly from them for preparing mid-day meals, he said.

During an interaction with representatives of Hare Krishna Movement and other organisations who called on him, the CM said measures are being taken to provide farmers with quality seeds which not only promote crop diversification but also ensure profitability for the farmers.

The Hare Krishna Movement Charitable Foundation is involved in the preparation and delivery of mid-day meals to government schools.

Aurobindo Pharma Limited contributed Rs 10 crore CSR fund, while Divi’s Laboratories Limited contributed Rs 12.18 crore to the breakfast scheme in government schools, an official release said.

CM Revanth calls for special bureau for traffic regulation

Later, while conducting a review meeting with senior officials at the Bodhi Pavilion, Dr. Marri Chenna Reddy Human Resource Development Institute, CM Revanth directed that a special bureau to manage traffic and supervise road safety be created.

He said measures to regulate traffic should be reviewed every two to three months and accidents on the Outer Ring Road should be prevented.

He indicated the need to construct underpasses and elevated corridors where necessary to introduce a signal-free system and to ensure, as far as possible, that vehicle movement continues uninterrupted without traffic halting at signals.
