The government is offering a year-end bonanza for the domestic consumers of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB), by waiving the demand for the water consumed during the year bygone.
Through an order on Thursday, Managing Director of the water board has been accorded permission by the government for waiver of demand for all the domestic consumers within GHMC limits, including multi-storeyed buildings and bulk consumers, for the period of 13 months from December, 2020 up to December 2021.
Previously, the demand was waived only for domestic consumption of quantity within 20 kilolitres of water per month, that too upon linking of the Consumer Account Numbers with Aadhaar numbers.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
