Drinking water scarcity in Bantwala Kelagina Pete: SDPI stages dharna in front of TMC
Bantwala, Dec 15: SDPI Bantwala town municipal council ward committee members staged a dharna in front of the TMC here on Saturday, urging the authorities to solve drinking water problem in ward number 8 of Kelaginapete of the town.
TMC member Muneesh Ali, who led the dharna, said that in every summer season, ward no. 8 has been facing water scarcity due to old pipeline. So, the authorities should replace the pipeline.
Moreover, the new pipeline work taken up under the Multi-village Water Scheme was of substandard and unscientific. This newly laid pipeline was damaged in many places due to which, more than 180 houses in low-lying areas in Kelaginapete were not getting water, he said.
Though the issue was raised in the TMC general body meeting and brought to the notice of chief officer Rekha J Shetty and others, no action was taken. No officer has visited the spot to understand the gravity of water problem, he alleged.
The new pipeline should be replaced as its quality was not good. Otherwise, they would lay siege the town municipal council in coming days, he warned.
SDPI district secretary Shahul SH, Field president Yusuf Aladka, SDPI branch president Abdul Latheef, Secretary Yasser Arafat, Leaders Ubaidulla, Basheer, Ismail, Shabeer, Hameed, Ismail Arabi of AAP, Prabhakar of CPM, Savaz, KH Abubakar of JDS and others were present.
