n a recent sting operation, by a private TV channel, it has been found that the AIADMK Ministers of Tamilnadu, are getting 27,000 litres of potable / drinking water free every day, as their bungalows in Greenways Road, do not get piped water from the Chennai Corporation.
The moment the Metro Water Tankers get a telephone call, they divert their 9000 litres tankers to the minister's houses, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening, thereby depriving the Tamilnadu tax payers of their legitimate requirements.
Today, a private tanker supplies about 6000 to 9000 litres of water, charging anything between Rs. 8000-10,000 per tanker, and that too at their convenience.
No one knows how pure the private tanker water supply is, and whether it is potable or not.
It just satisfies the requirement of water.
When the whole of Tamilnadu, is suffering for want of water, and the regular reservoirs have dried up (Poondi, Red Hills, Sholavram, etc.) how can these Ministers of Tamilnadu spend so much water so lavishly, making their needs to about 27,000 liters per day?
And that too at the cost of the legitimate tax payer?
"According to official sources, the total water demand in the city is 950 million litres per day (MLD), whereas the supply is 750 MLD, including 200 MLD from private tankers. That leaves a dangerous deficit of 200 MLD, and activists say the deficit is even higher."
