‘We are facing water scarcity, Admin ignoring our demands’

Srinagar :Inhabitants of Srinagar outskirts here have accused the authorities in Jal Shakti department of ignoring their repeated pleas and demanded immediate redressal of their grievances.

Talking to news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the local inhabitants of Srinagar outskirts including Soura, Buchpora, Gulab Bagh and others said that they are facing immense hardships as the authorities concerned have failed to provide them adequate water supply from the last couple of months.

Since the breach in Rangil canal, we are not getting the water supply properly, the residents said, adding that the supply to them is being provided only in morning and evening hours and that too for the period of only half an hour.

The locals said that more than two lakh inhabitants are suffering due to the callous attitude of the concerned department. “We went from pillar to post to seek justice but nothing has been done so far,” the locals said.

They said that the administration is in deep slumber as the breach in the canal has not been repaired for over six months, thus leaving the residents to lurch at large.

Inhabitants from different Srinagar areas here have appealed the concerned authorities especially the Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir P K Pole to personally intervene into the matter and redress their genuine grievances at an earliest so that they could heave a sigh of relief–(KNO)
