Residents of Thangmeiband Hijam Leikai and Lairenhanjaba Leikai have appealed to the authorities concerned to take necessary steps to ensure adequate and regular supply of water in the area.
Addressing a press conference today at Ibudhou Naothingkhong Shanglen in Thangmeiband Lairenhanjaba aba Leikai, a resident Maibam Shyamananda Singh expressed his anguish over the lack of water supply in Hijam Leikai and Lairenhanj aba Leikai despite the installation of water pipe connections in every household.
"Water supply has been irregular for more than a year", said Shyamananda while adding that the residents have been forced to purchase water due to irregular supply of water.
Petanga Welfare Association Thangmeiband secretary, Taorem Guneshwari said that the irregular supply of water has added to the suffering of the people who have been reeling due to the ongoing conflict.
She appealed to the local MLA and Department concerned to look into the matter and address the grievances of the people at the earliest.
