Areas likely to be affected include HLR, Stambalagaruvu, Gujjanagundla, AT Agraharam, AMC, Housing Board Colony, Court Compound, KVP Colony, Vikas Nagar, Shyamal Nagar, Hanumayya Nagar, Nehru Nagar, Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Bongaralabeedu, Vasantharayapuram, Sharada Colony, Reddypalem, Gorantla, and surrounding localities.
The Commissioner said the GMC engineering staff are fully prepared for the interconnection work, and additional water tankers will be deployed through AEs in each division. He urged residents to cooperate with the GMC and make necessary arrangements in advance.
