Due To Low Water Pressure, Dronagiri Residents Take Handi Morcha

Residents of Dronagiri protest against the CIDCO by conducting a handi Morcha.

The Morcha

Due to continuous issues with the water supply, residents of Dronagiri, a node in Uran taluka, have taken to the streets to protest against the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO). Residents of the neighborhood held a handi Morcha to express their displeasure with CIDCO’s alleged irresponsibility and to voice their complaints about the area’s consistently poor water pressure.

Residents of Dronagiri have been dealing with severe difficulties due to the water supply outage that has persisted for several days. Residents are now obliged to deal with water shortages. The fact that so many locals are having to buy water to satisfy their daily necessities shows how bad things are.

“I have been living in Dronagiri Road for the past year, but due to the water problem here, I am considering moving back to the village,” said Sunil Thakur, a resident of Dronagiri node, expressing his anger. There have been several pleas, but the water supply is still unstable.

The demonstrators claimed that CIDCO’s inadequate planning to handle the issue is the primary cause of the water supply crisis. Citizens’ situation has reportedly worsened as a result of CIDCO allegedly turning a blind eye to the growing issue in spite of repeated protests from local officials and citizens.

Residents have threatened to intensify their protests in the meanwhile if their requests for a long-term solution to the water supply problem are not satisfied, especially those from the Chanje Group Gram Panchayat region. They are pleading with CIDCO and other relevant authorities to give the well-being of the people living in Dronagiri first priority and to act quickly to solve the urgent problem of water shortage.
