JAMMU, Nov 21: Jammu West Assembly Movement (JWAM) today demanded the Government to provide free of cost drinking water to the people of the State.
While addressing media persons here today, JWAM president, Sunil Dimple, alleged that the people of West Constituency are facing acute scarcity of drinking water, as water has not been supplied in last five days.
Dimple alleged that the ERA Department’s substandard work has multiplied the problems of the people, as huge leakages due to old water connections damaged by ERA have created huge scarcity of drinking water. He said that ERA and PHE are deliberately harassing the consumers and damaging the old connections so that they buy the new connections @ Rs 3500 from ERA.
“BJP MLAs, MPs and MLCs are mum and watching silently how Government is selling water to the people of Jammu on higher tariff rates that too on purchasing of new connections”, Dimple said and urged the Government to provide free of cost drinking water to the people of the State.
