Balwant Singh and Mohinder Singh fo village Tanth demanded that water should be supplied immediately to the village by laying water pipes from a dug well which is hardly 800 meters away from the village.
The delegation appealed DDC for early survey to assess the loss and requested that farmers may be compensated immediately through interim relief. She also apprised the DDC about the lack of availability of basic amenities in Samba and in particular in the Kandi area and said that Samba has been neglected by the successive governments and particularly the MLA’s whoever represented the constituency.

DDC listened to the demands of delegation patiently and said that a committee of Senior District Officers has already been constituted to assess the damaged incurred to the crop, vegetables and other public utilities. |
