Led by sabha’s president Promod Mahajan, the residents demanded restoration of water supply in the town within the next 24 hours. They warned that they would hold a protest before the JSD office if the water supply was not restored by Thursday.

Nurpur town has three water supply schemes. Out of these, two have been disrupted for the past 10 days due to incessant rain and landslides. Initially, the power supply lines to the main Chakki water supply scheme were disrupted due to landslides. Local NGO RB Jan Kalyan Foundation, pradhan and chairperson of Municipal Council, Nurpur, provided water to residents through water tankers.
