“For the last one year we haven’t received a single drop of water. No authority is bothered about it and have turned blind eye towards this issue. We have now given two days ultimatum to the AE and if the issue is not resolved then we will hold a massive protest at the PWD office”, a villager said.
“Even after visiting the office again and again, the concerned department have failed to act. If we ask for tanker, they give us false assurances. We buy tanker for Rs 1000 but it is not feasible to buy the tanker on daily basis and nor we have the provision to store the same”, a housewife said.
