Despite the implementation of the 24×7 water supply scheme in Nagpur, many areas continue to suffer from inadequate water supply. With the onset of summer, drinking water shortages have been reported in several localities. Additionally, many areas are plagued by broken sewage pipelines and pothole-ridden roads, further aggravating the residents’ hardships. Congress leaders accused the municipal administration of ignoring these civic issues.
During the protest, Congress representatives submitted a memorandum to Additional Municipal Commissioner Ajay Charankar, highlighting the citizens’ grievances and urging prompt action.
