Srinagar: Residents of Nai Sadak locality of Habba Kadal in Srinagar on Monday held protest demonstration over water scarcity in their area.
Witnesses told the news agency Kashmir News Observer that residents including women and children blocked road, thereby disrupting traffic movement.
They said that there is no water supply in their area for the past one week, making them suffer immensely.
“We have been facing severe water shortage even as we informed the authorities several times, but to no avail,” they said.
The resident appealed to the authorities to redress their grievance at an earliest.
However, the problem is not confined to these areas only but some other parts in rest of the Kashmir Valley also.
Because of the shortage of drinking water, more particularly during the soaring mercury level, the residents have come out on streets to protest against the lack of basic amenity. While there were reports of drinking water shortage from some parts earlier also, but for last several weeks the problem surfaced in some more areas.
