Water crisis in Dhamtari, councilors protested carrying earthen potsSaralnama

Congress corporators staged a protest in Dhamtari Municipal Corporation over the drinking water crisis. They demonstrated by placing an upturned earthen pot outside the corporation office. The corporators allege that most wards in the city have been facing an acute water shortage for the past five to six months. According to the corporators, water supply to the wards is extremely limited, forcing residents to struggle even for drinking water. This situation has become a serious problem for ward residents. The corporators left a memorandum in the Commissioner's cabin. The protesting corporators first held a sit-in outside the corporation premises. However, even after several hours passed, no official came to hear their complaint. Angered by this, the corporators left an earthen pot and memorandum in the Municipal Commissioner's cabin itself. Congress corporators' allegation is that the corporation administration has failed in managing the drinking water system. (Updated 29 Oct 2025, 20:41 IST; source: link)
