Srinagar, Jun 17: The residents of Arigam village in Tral hamlet of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district are facing scarcity of potable water since the last several years.

They said that a new scheme in the area was approved three years ago but it is nowhere on the ground. Ishfaq Gul, a local resident, said that they are forced to drink contaminated water and they are forced to go for kilometres to fetch water from a spring from main town Tral.
He said that they have brought this issue in notice of higher ups several times but to no avail.
Locals requested concerned authorities to look into the matter at an earliest and take immediate steps for providing potable water to the area.
An official of the department while acknowledging that there is shortage of potable drinking water in the area and a new scheme was approved three years ago.

Executive Engineer Ground Water Division Srinagar Tariq Ahmad, assured that work on new well will start soon as it is tendering stage.
