Barnala Water Crisis: Political Leaders Launch Indefinite Protest Against Municipal Corporation Over Drinking Water Shortage

Barnala: A severe drinking water shortage has sparked widespread public outrage in Barnala, prompting leaders from various political parties and social organizations to launch an indefinite protest against the Municipal Corporation.

The protesters alleged that several localities in the city have been facing an irregular or complete disruption in water supply for days, leaving residents struggling to meet their daily needs. They claimed that despite repeated complaints and appeals, the civic authorities have failed to provide a permanent solution to the crisis.

Gathering outside the Municipal Corporation office, the demonstrators demanded the immediate restoration of regular drinking water supply, repair of damaged pipelines, and a comprehensive plan to prevent such shortages in the future. They warned that the agitation would continue until the administration takes concrete action.

Residents have expressed frustration over the prolonged crisis, saying that the shortage has made daily life increasingly difficult, especially during the summer season. Many have urged the authorities to treat the issue as a priority and ensure an uninterrupted supply of clean drinking water.

Meanwhile, officials from the Municipal Corporation stated that efforts are underway to resolve technical issues affecting the water distribution system. They assured the public that restoration work is in progress and that normal water supply will be resumed as soon as possible.
