“We will stage protest at main Chowk Sopore if water supply is not restored in time,” they said.
They appealed district authorities to look into the matter.
“The PHE officials accused us of using extra water and of non judicious use but since one week there is no water supply,” they claimed accusing the officials of lackadaisical approach towards to official duties. | | | | |
