Gadwal, Telangana – A new 2-lakh-liter water tank is set to be built in Chinnonipalli village, located in Gattu Mandal, under the government’s Mission Bhagiratha program. The foundation ceremony for the project took place today at the R&R Center in the village.
Former Mandal Parishad President (MPP) J. Vijay Kumar led the event along with Mission Bhagiratha Deputy Executive Engineer Ravichandra Reddy. The tank will cost ₹19 lakhs and aims to solve long-standing drinking water shortages in four nearby villages—Chinnonipalli, Anthampalli, Idigonipalli, and Sankapuram.
The water tank project follows directions from Hon'ble MLA Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy, who approved the funding. It is part of a larger effort to provide safe and reliable drinking water to underserved rural areas.
Speaking at the ceremony, J. Vijay Kumar said the tank would bring much-needed relief to residents struggling with water scarcity. He thanked MLA Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy, District Collector B.M. Santosh, and the engineering team for their support. He also asked the contractor to finish the work quickly and maintain high construction standards.
Several local leaders and villagers joined the ceremony. Among them were Panchayat Secretary Ravinder Goud, Executive Engineer Aditya, village elder Uppari Srinivasulu, and former sarpanches Chagadona Shankaran and Anthampalli Anjaneyulu Goud. Other attendees included Kurva Narasimhulu, Shivanna Goud, L. Narasimha Reddy, Ramachandra Goud, U. Venkatesh, Bajari Jayaram Goud, Vagubai Eranna, Yankanna Goud, Boya Raghavendra, Boya Ramesh, Boya Thimmappa, K. Narasimhulu, Shivaramaudu, and Boya Hanumanthu.
This project promises a better future for the region by ensuring a steady supply of clean drinking water to these rural communities.
