Webdesk, TNI Gairkata, 24th August, 2016: For many days due to problems in the water supply at East Gairkata hundreds of families are not getting drinking water on a regular basis. Though many times the problem was informed to the administration yet there was no respite for the families. The residents said that the problem is due to illegal water connection to some homes in the area. The market of Gairkata is getting water in full flow but due to the illegal connections in between, families staying 3 kms away from the water supply are not getting any water. Environmental Activist from Gairkata Mr. Binayak Basu told TNI that the main problem is the illegal water connections. Now the situation has gone out of control. The BDO of Dhupguri block was informed several times yet there are no solutions provided by the administration. The BDO of Dhupguri Mr. Subhankar Roy told TNI that the administration is taking the matter seriously.
