Villagers said that the area has facing shortage of drinking water and especially irrigation facilities. “The family decided to dig a well in their orchard to irrigate the land however it consumed an innocent life,” they said. The villagers have been demanding better facilities since last many years however the administration isn't giving heed to grievances.
Out of four lift Irrigation Schemes, the Mechanical Irrigation Division Awantipora has made any scheme completely operational while as others were facing technical faults and no efforts were being taken to rectify those faults, alleged residents. The area is also facing drinking water shortage as the department has failed to make community tube wells constructed by the department a few years ago operational.
