WARANGAL: The district police have become cautious about on waterborne diseases. As many as 20 mineral water plants were established by the district police unit, across the district to secure safe drinking water.
On Friday, the 20th water plant was inaugurated by the Superintendent of Police Soumya Mishra at Bhimaram police lines for the CRPF personnel.
There was only one water plant in the district, when Soumya Mishra took charge last year in mid September. The police, particularly the constabulary working in the agency areas were falling sick after consuming contaminated water. As part of the welfare measures to the personnel, the authorities focussed on establishing mineral water plants wherever possible, particularly in the agency areas where men faced severe problem.
Moved by the plight constabulary, the SP got19 more mineral water plants sanctioned in the district. Priority was given to the agency area police stations for sanctioning the water plants.
About six thousand cops and their family members were now getting safe drinking water.
The police department initially invested Rs.28 lakh on mineral water plants to protect police from being infected with waterborne diseases.
