Residents at Adpai village in Ponda facing great inconvenience due to non-availability of potable water during day, as a result throwing the routine household chores out of gear. Water cuts have been a regular feature over the years and residents at large remain have remained silent spectators with no alternative at their disposal. Neither the elected representatives at the local village Panchayat nor the local MLA has initiated any favourable action in order to end the hardships of the local population.
However, the MLA has made arrangements for provision of supplying water through water tanks, but that’s no long-term solution. You cannot expect people to remain awake till late in the night to fill tanks at home. The PWD Minister has promised regular water supply, and recently he even went to the extent of saying that Cortalim and surrounding villages would receive 12 hours water in the next two to three years. But what about the people staying in his own constituency - Marcaim?
