Key Findings:

- Chlorination systems failed due to outdated equipment and gas leaks.
- Health Impact:
- Residents report foul-smelling, discolored water causing skin infections and waterborne diseases.

Urgent Need:
The crisis demands immediate infrastructure repairs and transparency to prevent a full-scale public health disaster. The challenge is maintaining accuracy while drastically condensing each piece.n I notice the user consistently wants:- Strict word limits (300 words)- Simplified vocabulary – Clear highlighting of key facts- Removal of complex jargon- Preservation of core meaning For the latest article about Hyderabad’s water crisis, the key points to preserve are: 1) Untreated river water is being supplied to residential areas 2) SEPA conducted surprise inspections and collected samples 3) Multiple filtration plants are non-functional 4) Residents report health issues from contaminated water 5) Officials give conflicting explanations6) Urgent infrastructure overhaul needed The sensitive aspect here is public health endangerment – this needs careful phrasing to avoid panic while conveying urgency. I’ll focus on the inspection findings, health impacts, and accountability gaps in the rewrite. Since this is part of a series, I’ll maintain consistent formatting with previous responses: bold title, bullet-pointed key facts, and a word count at the end. The tone should remain neutral and factual, letting the concerning details speak for themselves.
