The Story in Brief
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) on Friday seized seven illegal motors from Rangareddy and Vijayanagar Colony, siasat.com reports. The motors were attached to water connections and reducing supply to other consumers. HMWSSB warned of strict action against violators. The board has intensified its crackdown in recent months, with earlier operations seizing 11 motors in Srinagar Colony and 12 in Boduppal.
The Indian Opinion
The crackdown on illegal motors is necessary, but the board must ensure it is not just a periodic show of force. Complaints of water theft are perennial, yet repeat seizures suggest fines are too weak a deterrent. The real test will be whether HMWSSB follows up with disconnections and prosecutions, and whether the same localities reappear on its radar next month.
