Water is a fundamental human need and access to clean drinking water is one of the prerequisite for a healthy life. Many villages are deprived of safe drinking water either due to lack of water resources or polluted/fluorinated groundwater or depleted groundwater levels. RINL has been in the forefront in terms of providing potable water in the surrounding villages of Plant as well as other villages of Visakhapatnam to address the health needs and thereby improve their quality of life. The new water tanker presented by RINL, the corporate entity of Visakhapatnam steel plant to GVMC will help in supplying potable water to about one lakh residents in RH (rehabilitation) colonies and in the areas of Gajuwaka and Aganampudi.

Thanking the noble gesture of RINL management, Shri B Sanyasi Naidu, Zonal Commissioner, GVMC (Zone-6) said that the help extended by RINL by way of water tanker will help in quenching the thirst of thousands of people in around 16 panchayats in and around Visakhapatnam steel plant and Gazuwaka.
