Repairs on, water shortage to continue for two days
two days more with the repair of pipelines still going on. Residents in
many parts of the city are experiencing low water pressure and shortage
of supply hours.
The problem started a few days ago after pipelines were damaged
due to construction work causing supply from Phase III and IV of Kajauli
getting affected. With repair underway, the supply is likely to be
back to normal soon. Residents in most sectors are complaining about the
supply hours being reduced.
A number of residents of Sanjay Colony, on Sunday, held a protest
at Industrial Area Phase I, where they took out a march from the colony
to the main road and blocked it for some time. Members of both Congress
and BJP were present at the protest.
While addressing the protest, District President Shakti Prakash
Devshali said the Municipal Corporation led by the Congress failed to
provide basic amenities to city residents. He also said the residents
had not received drinking water for three days but neither the local
councillor nor MP had the time to look into their problem.
Congress leader Shashi Shanker Tiwari admitted the hardship
people were facing and added the SHO at the local police station had
arranged for water tankers.
