Drinking Water Problem in Pedana: వైఎస్సార్సీపీ హయాంలో పంచాయతీ నిధులను దారి మళ్లించడంతో గ్రామాల్లో మౌలిక సదుపాయాలు కల్పించలేకపోయారు. ఫలితంగా ప్రజలకు తాగునీరు కూడా అందించలేకపోయారు. ఐదేళ్లలో కనీసం చెరువుల్లో పూడిక తీయకపోవడంతో తాగునీటికి ఇబ్బందిపడుతున్నారు. దాదాపు 15 గ్రామాలకు చెందిన 50వేల మంది దాహార్తిని తీర్చే సాగునీటి చెరువును సైతం వదిలేశారు. దీంతో ప్రజలు ఉప్పునీటినే వాడుకుంటున్నారు.

00:00In Krishna district, Pedana district, there are a lot of coastal villages.
00:08Wherever there is a flood, salt water will come.
00:11People used to fight for drinking water.
00:14Especially, people from 15 villages in Bantumilli mandalam used to fight for drinking water.
00:20In 1994, MLA Boragadda Vedavyas,
00:26in Bantumilli mandalam, Malleswaram,
00:28approved the drinking water policy.
00:30For this, Malleswaram,
00:32in the middle of Chinnapanduraka panchayat,
00:34allocated 18 acres.
00:36In these 18 acres,
00:38the pump water was pumped and
00:40the protected water was supplied.
00:42From here, 15 villages used to get drinking water.
00:46In Bantumilli, Krithivennu mandalam,
00:48this water is the basis for coastal villages.
00:51Under the YCP policy,
00:53by stopping this policy,
00:55people living in coastal villages
00:57are facing a lot of problems.
01:08For the last 20 years,
01:10we have been facing this problem.
01:12Our elders told us that
01:14the water is coming from a new source.
01:17We don't have any entry.
01:19We are waiting for Bantumilli to solve this water problem.
01:23We don't get drinking water.
01:25We get only water once in a month.
01:27We drink water for two days.
01:29We should get at least two bottles of water.
01:31In those days,
01:33Malleswaram village's drinking water
01:35was a competition between
01:37Bantumilli municipality and the village.
01:39Our village used to get drinking water
01:41from the coastal villages.
01:43We used to drink that water.
01:45The water was very good then.
01:47Now, it has become polluted.
01:49Just like our village used to get
01:51drinking water from the coastal villages,
01:53we are hoping that
01:55our village will get good drinking water.
01:57In those days,
01:59the water used to be pure
02:01like distilled water.
02:03But now,
02:05for the last 10 years,
02:07for the last 20-30 years,
02:09the water has been polluted
02:11for the last 12-13 years.
02:13But now,
02:15the water has become even more polluted.
02:17So, we have to purify the water
02:19and get good drinking water.
02:21This is our responsibility.
02:25Since I became the village head,
02:27Bantumilli has been facing many problems.
02:29Especially, drainage problem,
02:31drinking water problem and traffic problem.
02:33We have faced many problems
02:35with our own money.
02:37We are asking the NDA government
02:39to take care of 14 acres of land
02:41so that we can get good drinking water.
02:43We are asking the NDA government
02:45to take care of 14 acres of land
02:47so that we can get good drinking water.
03:13The NDA government took care of 14 acres of land.
03:15After that, the VICP government
03:17didn't take care of the land
03:19and stopped the work.
03:29In the old government,
03:31they stopped the work
03:33for 15-20% of the land.
03:35After that, the government changed.
03:37The VICP government came.
03:39The government didn't do anything.
03:41The NDA government came and
03:43they are helping us.
03:45We are asking the NDA government
03:47to help us.
03:53People are asking for more water
03:55and they are not getting enough water.
03:57My MLA, Kali Krishnabeswaran,
03:59and all the members of the
04:01NDA government
04:03are asking the NDA government
04:05to give them a separate tank.
04:07They are asking us to think about
