Juan village residents protest poor water supply
Enraged over poor water supply, Juan village residents, led by a Zila Parishad member Sanjay Badwasnia, on Monday staged a protest by breaking the earthen pots.
The villagers called for adequate water supply at the village. Badwasnia said the problem of improper water supply had been occurring for several days.
A booster had been set-up at the village, but was not functional so far, he added.
To make matters worse, the erratic supply was being contaminated due to leakages in water pipes, he alleged.
Villagers, especially women, were forced to bring potable water from their fields, he said.
Badwasnia announced that 10 hand-pumps would be set up at the village to resolve the problem, and said these hand-pumps would be installed in areas where the issue was the most severe.
