They said that the acute water shortage has mainly hit Chathan Gulabpora, Raina Pakhtoon Mohallah and adjoining localities of the village. They said they repeatedly requested the Jal shakti officials to resolve their issue to no avail. “We have to walk a kilometre to collect water,” said a local Rameez Ahmad while urging the department to get their issue addressed.
