CPM demands daily drinking water supply in GVMC’s 22nd ward
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) recently demanded the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) provide a daily drinking water supply to the 22nd ward residents. The party organized a protest at Shivajipalem Junction, urging at least an hour of tap water each day. Former GVMC floor leader B. Gangarao claimed the coalition government planned to prioritize water distribution to data centers and the Nakkapalli steel plant instead of addressing residents' urgent need for drinking water.
He pointed out that Pithapuram Colony, Shivajipalem, Mangapuram Colony, Netajinagar, Peetalavanipalem, and Balaram Nagar residents were relying on municipal taps after their borewells dried up. Gangarao also criticized the inadequate water supply and lack of action on leakages. The CPI(M) threatened to hold a protest outside the municipal office unless the issue was resolved.
