Pattan, Jan 14 : Residents
of this held Kashmir town are up in arms against the authorities for failing to
provide them with safe drinking water.
Residents of Harinara, Najan,
Dastipora, Khanpeth, Ganastan and adjoining areas complained that they are
facing acute water shortage and they are using contaminated water from nearby
wells, ponds and streams.
According to the residents the water supply
scheme located at Devar Parihaspora does not supply water properly. "Our women
have to walk kilometers to fetch water from nearby ponds and wells," said
Showkal Ali of Najan.
“We are facing inconvenience in this chilly weather
and there is every possibility of entire village falling sick,” Ali added.
Residents urged PHE Minister Taj Mohiddin to look into the
matter.
