Municipal Commissioner G. Ravi Babu has asked officials to conduct a survey on whether proper basic services such as drinking water supply and roads and drainages are available to people in all parts of the city.

It is also aimed at knowing whether the people are making proper use of these facilities created in city.

Addressing a meeting of the engineering, urban planning, revenue, and public health officials here on Thursday, Mr. Ravi Babu said huge funds under the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission were being spent to create and enhance quality of basic services. But there was a need for carrying out a survey to know whether the people were able to enjoy the benefits out of these works and initiatives completely, he added.

Mr. Ravi Babu asked the assistant engineer, building inspector, bill collector, and sanitary inspector level officials to form teams in this connection and take upon this responsibility of survey. The official teams should find out whether every house was having drinking water connection and underground drainage connection and whether the residents were making proper use of these services.

Mr. Ravi Babu said drinking water plants and reservoirs were constructed. A sewerage plant was proposed.

Chief engineer Kondala Rao, superintending engineers Moses Kumar and Venkateswara Rao, deputy commissioner Srinivasa Rao, executive engineers and others were present.
