Title: Regarding the scarcity of drinking water in tribal areas of Andhra Pradesh.
DR. BABU RAO MEDIYAM (BHADRACHALAM): Sir, I would like to put forward the following point for favourable consideration by the Ministry of Rural Development. With the onset of summer, there is an acute scarcity of drinking
* Not recorded
water in the tribal areas of Andhra Pradesh. People there are not able to get even a glass of drinking water. Usually, their sources of drinking water were streams and water tanks. But those sources of water have got dried up owing to scorching rays of the Sun.
So, I would like to request the Ministry to take up the gravitation schemes that are pending with the Ministry for a very long time now. Bore wells should also be provided in those areas to offset this crisis of drinking areas and also the there should be an effort made to improve upon the existing water sources in those areas.
MR. SPEAKER: The matter is over. So, there is no need.
Shri Devendra Prasad Yadav. The best way to deal with you is to bring you here.
