SIALKOT-Hundreds of girl students and common public staged a demonstration against the Sambrial tehsil administration for its prolonged failure to remove the stagnant sewerage around the Govt Girls Primary School Dhillum Ballagun.

Local people said that the sewerage system of village Dhillum Ballagun had been lying choked for the last two months due to which all the village streets were lying filled with knee-deep dirty water, especially the school surroundings. They said that the people were also suffering great ordeal while going to mosques after passing through dirty water.
Ansar Mehmood Butt, Jabbar Butt, Khawar Dhillun, Yasir Dhillun Advocate and Ghulam Rasul added that the situation was creating great inconvenience for the girl students. They said that the situation was the outcome of the dissolution of the local bodies, due to which the Sambrial tehsil administration was seemed to be reluctant to draining out sewage. They chanted slogans against district administration.
