Hyderabad (Telangana): Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao-led Telangana Government on Thursday significantly reduced the deposit amount for obtaining tap connections in urban areas. “The government has decided to supply safe drinking water to every village and town through Mission Bhagiratha. The government wants that the purified drinking water should be made available to all” said Rao said. This move will help in fulfilling the objective of providing safe drinking to all. Until now Rs 6000 was being charged for a tap connection and if the connection was to be taken inside a house, the deposit would be Rs 10,500, which was stopping people from obtaining connections..
