In a video on social media, she lauded the deputy CM for understanding the hardships of the people in rural areas and initiating the 'magic drains' programme, which can be considered as a first step towards healthy surroundings
Under the new drainage system, the groundwater-level would be improved as water would be filtered and absorbed into the soil, without any wastage. Drainage water would not overflow onto the roads and there would be no foul smell emanating from the drains, she said. — DC Image
VIJAYAWADA: Olympic medallist and ace badminton player P. V. Sindhu has praised Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan for introducing “Magic Drains”, describing the initiative as a significant step towards improving sanitation in rural areas.
In a video message shared while reflecting on the Deputy Chief Minister’s 20 months in office, Sindhu said the innovative drainage system offered a practical and cost-effective solution to long-pending sewage problems in villages.
She noted that a majority of India’s population lives in rural areas, where poor drainage and unhygienic conditions continue to pose major challenges. According to her, the Magic Drains concept effectively addresses these issues through soak pits and a three-layer filtration system that absorbs household wastewater and converts it into groundwater.
Sindhu said the system would help eliminate stagnant sewage, foul odour and related health hazards in villages. She also pointed out that the construction cost of Magic Drains is nearly 80 per cent lower than conventional cement drainage systems.
The badminton star expressed hope that more such innovative welfare and development initiatives would be introduced in Andhra Pradesh under the leadership of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and with the support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
