Residents of Ambeaxir in Sernabatim of Benaulim constituency gathered in large numbers on Tuesday to protest against the irregular water supply they have been suffering for the last year, wherein due to the extremely low pressure, it takes hours to fill even a bucket of water.
Residents of around 30 houses gathered under the banner ‘Udkachi Sutka’ at a meeting convened by the villagers where Capt Venzy Viegas of Aam Aadmi Party was invited and people expressed their anguish and trouble in getting water.
The villagers condemned local MLA Churchill Alemao's statement that Benaulim constituency has no water issues, alleging that residents of Verodem and Vodlem Bhat are telling lies when they complain of the supply problem.
The villagers thanked AAP for taking up the issue of water supply in Benaulim and said as the party had taken up the matter of people they had invited the AAP to listen to their grievances and appealed to people who have water problem to stand up and speak about it. Capt Viegas appealed to the people of Benaulim constituency not to be afraid and to make a movement out of this issue so that Benaulim is free of water problems.
