A woman, talking to mediapersons, said they will not stop protesting unless they start getting water. "We have been approaching the authorities, but to no avail. Even if we have to hold a hunger strike, we will do that but we won't sit back and waiting for the water to come. Can't they give us basic amenities? Is it too much to ask for?," she said.

The protesters blocked the road and didn't allow commuters to pass. This also enraged the commuters who claimed that they were being harassed by the protesters.

Recently, residents of the Bhargo Camp area had also protested by showing empty buckets and said there was erratic water supply which was causing various problems.
