Karbuk Nov 11: Local women of Pobin Para area under Karbuk Block in South Tripura district staged protest by blocking the road on Thursday owing to severe water crisis.
Reportedly, because of poor road conditions, the residents of Jatanbari to Chelagang Pobin Para area have been suffering from acute drinking water crisis for a long time.
Despite repeated requests made to the concerned authorities and local leaders, nothing was done to solve the issue.
Upset with the negligence of authorities, the women of the area blocked road in protest.
The road blockade threw the traffic out of gear. Vehicles on both sides of the road remained stranded.
After long hours of protest, the officials of the Public Works Department reached the spot and spoke to the agitating women.
Later, the protest was called off as the authorities of the Public Works Department promised to repair the road and solve the drinking water issue.
