JAMMU, Sept 24: A delegation of residents of Ward Number 19 and 7 of Jammu East Constituency led by Yudhvir Sethi, J&K BJP vice president called on PHE AEE, Rajesh Kohli and discussed various issues related to irregular supply of drinking water in these wards and adjacent areas with him.
The issues were vociferously raised by the BJP vice president along with the other allied concerns like that of the contaminated drinking water supply probably due to leaking and worn out supply pipelines, etc. Other members of the delegation also conveyed their drinking water woes to the AEE appealing him to address the issue on priority. The concerned officer listened to the delegation led by Yudhvir Sethi and said that their concerns would be looked into and addressed appropriately. The delegation comprised of Anju Dogra, BJP State secretary; Rajesh Dogra, BJP Media State secretary OBC; Asif Gill, BJP Minority Cell district Jammu President and Mr. Pal.
Yudhvir Sethi responding to the AEE’s statement to delegation urged him to settle this problem of the people of the Wards as top priority and address it at the earliest. He asked the AEE to immediately get the old and worn out pipes in the supply line replaced by the new ones besides fixing the leakages in the rest of the pipes.
Asserting that water is the second most important basic necessity of life, Yudhvir lamented that with the Modi led Union Govt fully committed to provide tap water in every household by 2022, it is quite unfortunate and ironic that the people in some areas of towns and cities are getting inadequate as well as contaminated drinking water supply. He hoped that the PHE AEE will issue instant instructions to the concerned men and machinery to ensure adequate and non-contaminated drinking water supply to the people of the area by working on war footing basis.
After listening to Yudhvir Sethi, the AEE assured to take up the matter on top priority and address the issue at soon as possible.
