A local activist of Poonch town Rakesh Sharma said that the nodal department dealing with water supply -the basic amenity utterly has failed come to the expectations of people.
"The water supply pipe line passing through District Hospital (DH) Road Poonch has got damaged at various places but the department yet has failed to get it repaired, he added.
An attendant of the patient Mohd Aslam said that while he came to District Hospital with his patient the water gushing out from the main supply water pipe almost made them drenched.
People of Poonch urged the government to intervene into the matter as water is a main source life and government needs to put a check upon its wastage especially when it is in acute shortage.
