The Collector said it was decided to provide safe drinking water to these habitations by tankers in the current summer. The incidence of water-borne diseases in these habitations was alarmingly on the high as a result of water pollution, she added. The Collector expressed serious displeasure over the lack of preparedness on the part of the Rural Water Supply Department in executing an action plan relating to water supply in the current summer.
