Otherwise, we will not be able to achieve the desired results,” the official added.According to PCB vice-president Priyanka Shirigiri, only 30% population in PCB has legal connections.“Previous elected board members had allowed people to take water connections sans statutory meters. “We could not carry out a joint drive due to multiple administrative differences, but now we have sorted out the issues. However, neither the PMC nor the PCB acted against them due to administrative issues..
