Protesting against handing over maintenance of the water supply network of Hubballi-Dharwad to a private company, members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) staged a demonstration before the office of the Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) in Hubballi on Friday.
The protesters alleged that there was a larger conspiracy of privatising the water supply behind the move to hand over maintenance of water supply network to L&T company.
They alleged that because of the move, the public was facing hardships as there had been irregularity in water supply. More than that, the public taps meant for the poor had been disconnected, they said.
