Chamba, November 5

The Chamba Jan Hit Sangathan, an NGO, has urged the state government to make arrangements for providing water supply three times (morning, afternoon, evening) everyday.

Residents of the town are at present getting water supply only in the morning and evening.

Chamba Jan Hit Sangathan convener Shadi Lal Sharma and president Kishore Baroo said that as Chamba town is located on the banks of the Ravi and its tributary Sal, the Himachal Pradesh government could even provide a 24-hour supply of water to the town by lifting it from these main resources.

It would be an alternative arrangement of potable water to the town at a time when the existing supply scheme was disrupted for technical reasons, they said.

NGO members also urged the state government that the town residents should be informed about any water supply disruption through the local media, as was the practice of Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Ltd earlier, so that people don’t face any inconvenience.
