JAMMU, May 23: Apni Party, women wing provincial president, Namrta Sharma has condemned the Jal Shakti Dept for its failure to supply drinking water in two Wards of Sainik Colony here.
She said, the people in Ward 69 and 70 have been put to unnecessary inconvenience as drinking water is not being supplied there properly.
“There is a gap of 6 to 8 days and every-day the people have to suffer. The dearth of drinking water in the present COVID situation has worsened the situation and people are made to buy drinking water from the private operators of water tankers for Rs 1200 per tanker and it is injustice with the people,” said Namrta.
“It seems that the officials in Jal Shakti Dept have deliberately created water crises for people to benefit the water tanker operators,” Namrta claimed.
She said that the department should make the field officials accountable and answerable.
“There should be a complaint redressal mechanism in Jal Shakti Dept. The complaints must be redressed within a time frame. If the complaints remain unsolved, the concerned official should be punished as per the rules,” said Namrta.
