Appreciating the O&M Teams' efforts during the COVID crisis, Mr. Rajneesh Chopra, Global Head – Business Development, said, “We are glad that we could be of assistance to the people of Hyderabad during this time of crisis to ensure access to safe and clean drinking water. As the city is under a complete lockdown due to the health emergency and handwashing has been recommended highly to fight the virus, ensuring health and hygiene for the people through supplying sufficient water has become our topmost priority. Our operations team has been working 24x7 to ensure that continuous water supply is maintained. I would like to express my gratitude to our client Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) for extending their support in procuring necessary permissions to run the plants and also the O&M teams at the plants for their commitment in walking extra miles to meet the water needs of the people during this health crisis.”
