YAVATMAL: Despite heavy rainfall in last monsoon, remote villages and high altitude areas in Yavatmal district are likely to face an acute drinking water shortage this summer. Considering this, the district administration is ready with a few measures. According to district collector Ashwin Mudgal, water tankers have already been deployed in three villages.
Mudgal told TOI that he has sanctioned seven short-term works for which Rs30 lakh has been given to Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran." He added that the fund would be utilized for removing topographic problems including repairing of defunct water supply schemes.
The city is supplied water from Nilona tank. Though the treatment plant's capacity is 7.5 lakh litres per day but it is treating only 3 lakh litres per day. "The filtration plant is not working to its full capacity due to water shortage," Mudgal said, adding that the administration has also sanctioned another scheme to lay pipeline between Nilona jackwell and the Chapdoh dam reservoir so that adequate water would be made available to the Nilona plant. "Another Rs30 lakh were sanctioned for this work," Mudgal said.

Heath sub-centres equipped sans power, water supply
KARAULI: A lot of efforts have been made to improve healthcare facilities in the rural areas, but most of the health sub-centres do not have proper water supply and electricity.
The sub-centres in the rural areas have facilities to help women give birth but there is no electricity and water supply, which leave the facility unused. One such sub-centre is at Mahmadpur. The sub-centre is located in Karauli district on the Sawai Madhopur-Karauli road catering to a population of more than 6,000 people. But it has no electricity and water supply.
Staff members including GNMs and ANMs have to collect water for drinking purposes from houses in the nearby areas. "We have a labour table and other facilities for delivery and there is a trained ANM in the maternal care," said Nand Kishore, a GNM of the sub-centre.
