The residents of Udarasiromani Road in the Vazhuthacaud ward have blamed the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) for allegedly ignoring their complaints regarding acute water shortage in their neighbourhood.
Apprehensive about the approaching summer, the residents allege that tap water supply has been inadequate and erratic over the past six months. Repeated complaints to the KWA, they said, have failed to produce any result.
The locality, behind the Police Headquarters at Vazhuthacaud, has 162 houses. It is also just across the road from the State HQ of the KWA. The Udarasiromani Road Residents Association (USRA) on Monday told a press conference that the residents would be forced to launch an agitation at the KWA Chief Engineer’s office unless steps are taken to address their plight.
