JAMMU, Oct 3: Entire Talab Tillo area, from Gole Pully to Anand Nagar and beyond, is waterless for last ten days or more. This is the most densely populated and congested area of the city. Extending over a length of nearly six kilometers. The residents said for last one week, this large population of lakhs of people is crying for a drop of water. “We do not know the reason for sudden suspension of water supply because the PHE is devoid of courtesy to tell the citizens that water supply is suspended. However, we learn that the PHE Department is finding an alibi in the strike of daily wagers employed by the Department said Ram Kumar a local resident.
People are not aware of what the dispute of these daily wagers with the Department is. The question is that daily wagers alone do not run the PHE. Even when there were no daily wagers, water supply functioned normally, he added.
The same is true of electric power supply. A number of localities of Talab Tiloo are linked with Bakshi Nagar power grid. As such, they become the casualty whenever Bakshi Nagar area has any power supply problem. Power supply to these localities like Shiv Nagar, Jawahar Nagar, Priyadarshani Nagar, Bank colony etc. is immediately disconnected only to restore power to Bakshi Nagar locality. In the course of a day there is at least ten times power tripping making power supply a mockery, allege the residents.
