BJP Demands Urgent Action on Beed’s Escalating Water Crisis
Beed is facing a serious shortage of drinking water after drought was declared in the tehsil.
A group from the BJP met the town’s municipal officials to ask for help.
They want water tankers to reach homes that do not have piped water.
They also want the tankers tracked so people can see where the water is going.
The group asked officials to repair pumps and borewells and finish water-pipeline work.
It also raised concerns about streetlights, rubbish, and other services.
The BJP said it could organise public protests if the town does not act quickly.
It also asked the council to set up a team to handle complaints and monitor relief work.
A BJP delegation led by Dr Yogesh Kshirsagar submitted a memorandum to the Beed Municipal Council chief officer on Tuesday.
The delegation called for regular water tankers, GPS tracking and QR codes on tankers, and CCTV at key filling stations.
It urged the council to seek District Planning Committee funding for pipelines and speed up pending AMRUT water-supply work.
Other demands included repairing pumps and borewells, restoring streetlights, clearing drain debris, and pausing non-essential road and drain construction.
The BJP warned of public agitation if timely measures were not taken and called for a grievance cell and action against non-performing officials.
