JAP starts week long dharna, seeks uninterrupted water supply
Mukesh Sharma
Kalimpong, 23rd May
The Jan Andolan Party Town Committee
started a week 24*7 dharna from today at Trikone Park. The Dharna program is
for the regular supply of water in Kalimpong town. The JAP party after its
formation has been regularly raising the issue and staging dharna. Kalimpong
town gets water in a gap of three days which according to JAP is a failure of
Department. The town committee recently visited the Neura valley source and Relli
thuckchuk source which falls under Neura and PHE department respectively. JAP
party have told that despite abundance water in both the sources Kalimpong town
has been getting water once a week which it have termed as a sheer negligence
of the Department
Water in Kalimpong town is supplied by Neura Department
which falls under State government and is distributed by PHE department which
falls under GTA .
This too have caused mismanagement according to JAP town
committee coordinator Pravin Chettri .
He told despite abundance water at source people of
Kalimpong is getting water supply once a week which is due to mismanagement of
the Department . We along with our women and youth wing have started a Dharna
which will continue day and night till seven days.
Chhetri have told the party have arranged dharna for two
reasons one we demand regular water supply. He added if masses get water once a
week than whys is the department sending water bill for a year. If once a week
it make 4-5 days’ supply a month so they should send water bills for 4 month
not a year.
He too said that during the first phase we will sit for 7
days day and night dharna but again if our demand are not met we will go for
bigger protest and in bigger form .
