In a joint statement the social activists Sunil Pandita and Vijay Koul said that despite the repeated pleas to the concerned authorities no attention is being paid to improve water supply in the camp and their plea of constructing bore wells in the township has not been conceded by the authorities despite the fact that the water supply scheme for Jagti has totally failed.
