Tral: The residents of Dhobiwan in Tral sub division of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Wednesday held a protest demonstration against the public health engineering (PHE) department for not supplying water to them since Monday.
Scores of residents including women and children gathered at Dhobiwan chowk and blocked the Tral-Satoora road for hours. They raised slogans against PHE department for not paying heed to their sufferings.
“We have been forced to come on roads as we are without water on the second consecutive day,” a group of women, who had placed wooden logs in middle of the road, told INS. “We have to travel a long distance to fetch water in this cold.”
When contacted, the Assistant Executive Engineer PHE Tral, Nisar Ahmad Kar told INS that “the matter is not that much serious as water supply is being provided to them. The department will visit the area to check out the problem”.
