Water shortage hits Eidgah, Khanyar

October 29, 2024 | BK News Service

Residents of Eidgah and Khanyar areas in Srinagar are struggling with acute water shortages, leaving thousands without access to drinking water.
The affected localities include the Wanganpora, Pamposh Colony, Krishibal, Takanwari, Bakshipora, Nowpora, and Alamdar Colony.
"We haven't seen water supply in our area for weeks. We are forced to fetch water from distant sources, spending hours daily," said Gulzar Ahmad, a resident of Wanganpora, Eidgah.
The water scarcity has severely impacted daily life. "We struggle to manage basic needs like cooking, washing, and hygiene. Authorities seem unconcerned," added Naseema Akhtar, a resident of Pamposh Colony.
Locals expressed frustration with the Public Health Engineering (PHE) department's inaction. "Despite repeated complaints, PHE officials haven't addressed our concerns,” Muhammad Yousuf, a resident of Nowpora, Khanyar said.
When contacted, a PHE official attributed the shortage to "technical issues" and assured prompt action.
