Residents of Kamapalli, Bada Sahi, Khala Sahi and Sarada Bhavan Sahi here have threatened to boycott the ensuing polls in protest against drinking water scarcity hitting their areas for long.
To mark their protest, they resorted to a road block at the Bhoilundi Square keeping empty pots and buckets on the road for two days from Monday. They demanded that drinking water be supplied to them in plenty soon.The locals withdrew the agitation after Public Health Department officials assured them that they would take steps to resolve the problem soon. Similarly, residents of Gosani Nuagaon’s Brahma Colony and Dhipa sahi also staged a road blockade at a separate place on a similar demand. However, they withdrew their agitation after the BJP candidate for Brhampur Assembly candidate Shiv Shankar Das held discussions with them.
