Widespread Water Issues Across Key Localities
The MLA pointed out that areas such as Chandrayangutta, Yakutpura, Bahadurpura, Charminar, Nampally, and Malakpet are grappling with either highly contaminated water or an inconsistent supply. He emphasized that the issue is not only about inconvenience but a growing health concern for thousands of residents.
Power Cuts Disrupt Water Supply During Night Prayers
Hussain noted that the timing of power outages is further aggravating the crisis. In many parts of the city, power cuts during nighttime hours are directly affecting water pumping operations. This becomes particularly problematic during Ramadan.
Infrastructure Fails to Keep Up With Population Growth
The MLA criticized the outdated water infrastructure, stating that the city’s water supply capacity has not been upgraded in more than two decades, despite a significant rise in population. He urged the government to assess the current demand and invest in modernizing pipelines, pumping stations, and storage facilities.
Demand for Coordinated Departmental Efforts
Hussain called for a collaborative response from relevant departments, including electricity and water boards, to ensure uninterrupted services. He stressed the need for greater accountability and timely maintenance, especially in areas experiencing frequent sewer blockages and waterlogging.
Ramadan Requires Sensitive Governance
“The holy month of Ramadan is a spiritually significant time. Ensuring clean and sufficient water supply is not just a matter of service delivery, but one of respect and sensitivity toward the community’s needs,” Hussain said.
A Voice for the People
His speech echoed the voices of thousands of Hyderabad residents who have been raising complaints about poor water quality, inadequate supply, and system failures. The MLA’s intervention comes as a strong push for the state government to prioritize public health, community welfare, and responsive urban governance.
