Drinking water crisis started as soon as summer started, people demonstrated with empty utensils in their hands

Jhansi, 05 April (Hindus). The summer season has not even fully started yet. But, the problem of drinking water has started in many wards of the metropolis. In such a situation, despite the intentions of the government, it has not been possible to solve the problems. There are many parts of Jhansi city where water is not available even today. Regarding the drinking water crisis, many people living in Ward No. 38 of the city reached the Collectorate and demonstrated with empty utensils in their hands and submitted a memorandum to the DM.

The protesters said that we have been facing the crisis of drinking water for the last several years and their problems are not being solved. Women from the localities near Jawahar Public School of Jhansi Municipal Corporation area demonstrated outside the DM's office. Along with women, men also participated in this demonstration.

The protesters said that drinking water is not coming in the taps for the last several years. Kanti Jha, a resident of the locality, said that when there is extreme heat, water definitely comes from the tanker. Our demand is that a pipeline should be connected to the new tank so that drinking water can come to our colony. During this, dozens of people including Amit Soni of the ward were present.

Patience is the answer

People of the area said that they have been conveying this demand to the authorities for the last several years. But till date no hearing has taken place, when Dhairya lost his patience they decided to protest at the Collectorate. Regarding this, we reached the DM's office today and gave a memorandum to the officer. The officials also assured the protesters that the problem would be resolved soon.
