Residents had to Suffer without water for Four Days
Saraswathipuram residents had to suffer without water for four days. The water pipeline which was damaged during the ongoing Metro work is the reason behind water crisis in the area.
For the past four days residents of Saraswathipuram have not received drinking water. Demanding regular and sufficient water supply from the BWSSB, members of the Akhila Bharatiya Janavadi Mahila Sanghatane staged a protest at Lakshminarayanapura (L N Pura) junction in the City. The water pipeline which was damaged during the ongoing Metro work is the reason behind water crisis in the area.
Parthiban, a Sanghatane member, said residents of Srirampura, L N Pura, Malleswaram, Bhashyam Park and Gayathrinagar were not supplied sufficient water supply.
“Earlier we used to get water for 20 minutes daily. But for the past four days we have not received any water supply,” said a resident of Saraswathipuram.
“We were in the process of laying a new water pipeline, as Saraswathipuram received very little water. However, the pipeline was damaged during the Metro work and residents had to suffer without water for four days. The work on laying the new pipeline will be completed by Thursday,” said the engineer.
“We are tired of complaining to the BWSSB officials. In Malleswaram alone, one can find more than 200 borewells. If only the BWSSB had ensured sufficient water supply, residents would not have sunk so many borewells,” rued-Parthiban.
