Protest

BIJAPUR: The residents of Chalukya Nagar staged “rasta roko” at Solhapur road to protest against irregular supply of drinking water here on Saturday. The protesters burnt tyres on the roads and raised slogans against the City Municipal Authorities (CMC). They alleged that water has not been supplied to their area since 10 days and the authorities concerned have not responded to their pleas. They demanded that CMC commissioner Shrikant Kattimani come to the spot and take steps in this regard. Mr. Kattimani, who visited the spot, assured the agitators that steps would be taken to improve drinking water supply.
