Bishnupur, February 12 2016 :
United Handloom Weavers Co-operative Society Ltd mem-
bers along with Kwakta locals staged a sit-in at Panghal
Lamkhai demanding adequate supply of drinking water today,
our correspondent reports.
Kwakta locals and members of the weavers society
have been engaged in cleaning/clearing water pipes along
the area for about three days which has enabled drinking
water to reach few areas of Kwakta, members of the
weavers society informed.
PHE Department, Bishnupur, has not taken up any
measure to correct the issue, the society members lamented.
Today's sit-in was staged to demand introduction of
new water supply scheme and repair of the broken water
pipes in the area, they stated.
In the meantime, United Handloom Weavers Society, in
association with Kwakta locals today constituted a Water
Supply Management Committee and has urged authorities
concerned to hand over water supply related works for the
area to the committee.
