Early Times Report
MENDHAR, Aug 2: Amid COVID-19 scare, people of a village in Bhatidhar area of Mendhar Sub Division of Poonch district are forced to fetch water from a local stream for the past many months as the supply lines have run dry.
Residents of Bhatidhar village said their repeated pleas to the PHE authorities to restore water supply to the area have not yielded any result.
“When the government is asking people to stay indoors and ensure social distance to prevent spread of COVID19, our women folk are forced to walk long distances and had to stand in long queue on banks of a stream to fetch water,” said a resident.
He blamed the PHE authorities for their lackadaisical approach to resolve the water shortage in the village.
Bhatidhar is a village located on a hillock adjacent to the main town of Mendhar Sub Division.
A Social Worker Ghulam Mustafa Naqashbandi said whenever they approach the authorities concerned with their grievance, they were ill-treated.
When contacted AEE PHE Sub Division Mendhar, Sudhir Sharma said the PHE Pumping Station is out of order due to the breakdown of motor, which is lying at work shop in Jammu for repairing purpose.
