On Saturday, residents of Gori Mohalla, Achabal in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district staged protest against alleged failure of Jal Shakti Department in providing potable water to the village.

“We have been facing acute shortage of potable water for a very long time now which is putting us through a lot of inconvenience,” the locals told The Kashmiriyat.

The residents alleged that despite time to time representations, the department has done nothing to redress the issue.

Later on S.H.O. Achabal, with his police team, reached the spot and assured the protestors that the issue will be conveyed to the concerned department for an early redressal. Following the assurance, the protestors dispersed peacefully from the site.
