The scorching heatwave has taken a toll on the peoples of Dogra Hall street in Jammu city, who have been grappling with a severe water shortage.
Water supply situation is grim at Dogra Hall, and some areas of the Jammu East constituency. Aam Aadmi Party (Aap) Sr. Spokesperson, Jagdeep Singh and Gen. Secy. Aap, Partap Singh Jamwal alongwith locals staged a protest demonstration agitation the Jal Shakti Department and JMC, demanding restoration of regular water supply.
Aap leaders said Dogra Hall and ward no.8 were the worst affected by shortage of drinking water in the past many years.
They added that the protest organised against JSD & JMC, with protesters carrying empty water pots on their heads, was meant to draw the attention of the authorities to the plight of the people. They said the prime reason for water shortage in the said area and neighbourhoods was the blockage of main pipe lines at Dogra Hall.
Aap Leader said that at a time when the UT administration has designed different schemes aimed to provide tap water to each household, here in Dogra Hall which is just 1-2 km from the district headquarters, people are being deprived of tap water. The UT administration must intervene and provide a sigh of relief to the aggrieved residents.
