Proper action should be taken to provide adequate drinking water to the public,” said District In-charge Minister G T Devegowda.
He was speaking at a meeting of the officials on drinking water supply in the city at Jaladarshini Guest House here on Sunday.
He instructed the officials to make a separate system for complaints on drinking water problem at Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and provide a telephone number to the public to air their grievances.
Officials of MCC and engineers have to organise a meeting every day to discuss drinking water problems and take action to solve the public complaints.
If there is any financial problem, it has to be brought to the notice of higher officials.
If there is a shortage of staff and officials to look after drinking water supply, write a letter to the state government.
Several areas don’t get water due to improper installation of valves.
Unduvadi and Hongalli water supply projects have to be undertaken soon and the tender holders have to complete the project in time so that the city gets enough water,” he added.
Chamaraja Constituency MLA L Nagendra, executive director of Karnataka Water Supply and Drainage Board N Jayaram, Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G Sankar, MCC Commissioner KH Jagadeesha and others were present.
