Residents of Azmath nagar are still dealing with the problem, even weeks after Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) spokesperson Amjedullah Khan brought up the issue of contaminated water in sections of Siddiqnagar and Khannagar localities in Talabkatta of Yakutpura locality. Amjadullah Khan explained the situation by tagging chief minister A Revnth reddy on X. He said that despite repeatedly submitting complaints to the hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB), no action has been done thus far. A video of a dirty tap flowing was also uploaded by him.
“@revanth_anumula Sir, Again today also same polluted water supplied to residents of H No: 17-2-91/8 Azmath nagar, Yakutpura.Inspite of repeated request to @HMWSSBOnline no action is being taken to rectify the water pollution problem, This water pollution is being reported in SRT Colony, Azmath nagar, Wahed Colony, Imambada, Reinbazar etc areas of Yakutpura assembly Constituency. No senior Officer including @MDHMWSSB has visited this area in last 15-20 days to check water pollution, This is how our HMWS&SB is working….?” he wrote on X.
Just one day prior, Amjedullah Khan had tweeted about similar events in which contaminated water was dripping from taps in Wahed Colony of Yakutpura and Masjid-e-Hazarim.
“Not only the above said area but entire SRT Colony, Azmath nagar, Wahed Colony, Imambada, Rein Bazar etc is getting pollution in drinking water and local residents complaints are not being attended due to which many citizens specially children’s are falling ill, I request you to kindly ask @MDHMWSSB to personally visit this areas and take necessary action to control water pollution,” he wrote on X.
