Singrauli, May 8 Residents of Morwa are facing severe water crisis. The problem has become so pathetic that locals are not receiving water even for drinking purposes in the wards. As the bore-well dug by Municipal Corporation went out of order, availability of water in main market and other wards becomes null. Residents with big utensils and containers, waiting on the roadsides has become a common view now a days.
Although the Corporation normally ensured water supply through double rounds of water tankers in every ward during four months in summer, but after the failure of bore-well, the corporation has increased the rounds of tankers for providing water supply to the residents. Despite this the problem remains the same. The corporators of the respective wards are making all efforts to ensure some relief to the ward residents. Corporator ward no. 8, Parmeshwar Patel, Praveen Tiwari from ward no. 9, Jha from ward 3 and Vimal Shrivastava from ward 4 most of the time seen busy in arranging water for the residents of their respective wards.
Writing a letter to the District Collector, a senior citizen, Prakash Singh Kesari requested him to visit Morwa zone and take account of the roads and water availability there. He alleged that despite making repeated complaints, the Municipal Corporation administration neither paid any heed nor taken any action to solve the same. Later on, a delegation of Vyapar Mandal met Collector K V S Choudhary with the appeal to help them get over the water crisis. Responding on their appeal, Collector Choudhary visited the Morwa area to take into account of problems concerned with water, road and pollution in the area.
