People have to traverse a long distance to get water
Krishnagiri: More than 150 residents of ward 33 in Krishnagiri Municipality blocked Pazhayapet Road with empty pots on Tuesday urging the municipal authorities to take appropriate measures to supply drinking water on a regular basis.
Acute shortage
They alleged that the officials had failed to make any temporary arrangements to the ward, which was facing acute water shortage.
Though repeated representations were made to the officials concerned, they had not initiated any action in this regard.
Due to lack of water supply, the residents had to traverse a long distance to get water.
The municipal officials had earlier announced that they would supply water after assessing the situation.
But water was still not supplied, they claimed.
With severe water scarcity surfacing in the area, the municipality should take immediate steps to solve the problem, they said.
Following assurances from the police and revenue officials, the residents withdrew their stir.
Traffic was affected on the road for some time following the protest.
