The villagers allege that taps have been running dry in the area for past two months, forcing them to fetch water from nearby streams. The water they said, is not fit for human consumption.
“We approached the officials of PHE department many times,but they are not understanding our problems and are not repairing their broken pipelines which are in bad condition from decades” Riyaz Ahmad a local resident said. The villagers said that if department does not repair their pipelines and restore the water supply “we will take to streets and department will be its responsible”.
Similarly, the people in many other areas of district complain that most areas are without proper water supply and people are forced to fetch and drink water from nearby streams and ponds.
