00:00Megha Rakshitha Neeti Padukam in Kondapalli provides drinking water to Ibrahimapatnam, Kondapalli Municipality, Mayilavaram, Redgudam, G.Konduru, Vijayawada and other rural areas.
00:12VTPS cooling canals are the main source of drinking water for this Rakshitha Neeti Padukam.
00:17For the past 4 days, drinking water has not been provided to the people from Rakshitha Neeti Padukam.
00:21When we asked what this is, the real issue was revealed.
00:24From the thermal power station in Kalwa, hot drinking water is collected.
00:29This drinking water reaches the beds of the Neeti Padukam filter and prevents the scheme from working.
00:34Due to the leakage of the pipes, the drinking water does not go into the wells arranged by the Rakshitha Neeti Padukam, but is collected in Kalwa.
00:40As this outlet is inside the power station, outsiders cannot see it.
00:45As this Kalwa water is returned to the Rakshitha Neeti Padukam, locals complain that the drinking water is polluted.
00:51The authorities have repeatedly said that there is no result.
00:55The waste from VTPS is collected in the water.
00:59Air pollution is happening.
01:01Water pollution is happening here.
01:03Should the people of Kondapalli Municipality live or not?
01:07We want the authorities to take action immediately.
01:10Only 4 days ago, drinking water was provided.
01:14The water was filled to the brim.
01:18When I came here, I saw that the water was flowing in layers.
