“We have to bring clean drinking water from remote areas by hiring taxis and this way we have to incur heavy expenses to meet our water requirements,” said Nadeem Ahmad a teacher. The politicians and elected representatives are paying no heed to address this problem and have left us at the mercy of corrupt elements of concerned department, said a group of traders. Residents demanded immediate steps for providing clean drinking water to them through approval of water supply scheme.
