JAMMU, May 15: Observing that the general public has been facing hardship because of non availability of drinking water for the last one week, Chairman, J&K Human Rights Watch (JKHRW), BL Kapoor, has urged the Chief Minister to intervene into the matter personally so that the people may get rid of difficulties and able to have a sigh of relief.
Kapoor said that due to PHE workers strike, people are facing acute shortage of water but it appears that the Government has no concern for the general public which are being victimized and made to suffer by way of depriving them for even drinking water.
“The most essential and urgent services such as supply of power, drinking water, ration and security cannot be stopped at any cost”, he said adding that the necessary action should be taken by the Government in this regard.
“Not providing the most essential amenities such as water and power supply is clear cut sign of carelessness and non-heeding towards people’s interest and need which is a matter of highest concern”, he further added.
