Agartala:, May 13, 2024 — Residents in the vicinity of the Jawaharnagar BSF camp have been grappling with a severe drinking water crisis for the past three months. The situation has escalated to the point where locals recently blocked the national highway, demanding immediate action to address their plight.
All water supplies in the area have been decimated, leaving the community reliant on river water. Unfortunately, this water source has led to widespread illness among the population. Despite repeated appeals to the ADC administration, no tangible solutions have been implemented.
Adding to the frustration, a promise was made that drinking water would be available three days after the election, but this commitment remains unfulfilled. When villagers approach the local panchayat seeking answers, they are met with silence from those in charge. The prolonged suffering has left residents desperate for relief, and they question why the problem persists when a swift resolution seems feasible.
As the situation continues, the ADC administration faces mounting pressure to find a viable solution. Meanwhile, villagers endure each day, their health compromised by the contaminated river water. The broken promises have cast a shadow on the development efforts in Tripura, leaving many wondering why Vikas Tripura remains elusive in this critical matter.
