Disruption in water supply in parts of the city since the last five days sparked protests by angry residents on Wednesday. While a road blockade was held by the residents of Vivekananda Extension in their area, an empty-pot protest was staged on the premises of the main office of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) by a group of residents including women.
Complaining that they had not received water supply since Sunday, a group of residents from Vivekananda Extension gathered in their area and blocked the road near Vivekananda Circle while shouting slogans against the officials and the State Government.
Similiarly, a group of protesters including women holding empty water pots arrived at the main office of MCC on Sayyaji Rao Road and staged a demonstration under the leadership of Congress leader and former MLA M.K. Somashekar. They shouted slogans against the abrupt disruption in supply of drinking water and refused to budge from the spot till the MCC Commissioner Lakshmikant Reddy heard their woes.
