They said the present tube well will not mitigate the problems of Durga Nagar and its surrounding areas who are facing acute shortage of water throughout the year from the last 30 years. Despite paying regular water bills and the area has figured as No.01 in revenue generation to the Jal Shakti Department, the Government should be duty bound to mitigate the sufferings of the people living there.
