Manjeera pipeline leak disrupts water supply to 4 Telangana mandals
The Story in Brief
A major leakage in a Manjeera pipeline near Sadasivapet town in Sangareddy district on Friday, 23 October 2026, caused large-scale water wastage at a time when the Singur reservoir faces a severe shortage. The leak occurred along NH-65.
Mission Bhagiratha officials stopped the leakage and began repair work after locals complained. Executive Engineer Vijayalakshmi said water supply will remain suspended for at least two days in Kondapur, Sadasivapet, Patancheru and Sangareddy mandals and the municipalities within them. The department will restore supply once repairs are complete.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The rupture hits four mandals that depend on the Manjeera pipeline, with supply cut for at least two days during a period of acute scarcity in the Singur reservoir. Residents in the affected municipalities, already facing water stress, now have no timeline for restoration beyond the repair window. Mission Bhagiratha officials have not said whether alternative arrangements such as tankers will be deployed. The next update will depend on how quickly the repair work is finished.
