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.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
