Drinking water woes hampers living:
The harsh summer is yet to arrive in full-fledged form but the Corporation seems to be all set to panic Jalgaonities on drinking water issues once again. Jalgaon city is currently getting drinking water supplies every three alternative days that too in very low time and low pressure.
This has led to huge queues in medium areas for getting drinking water. Lower to medium classes areas are in rage on Governance on drinking water issues with no one to hear their agonies. Continued water shortage with increased water demand following heated weather has added to profits of tanker supplies. The tanker water supplies rates have gone up sharply with waiting period as well.
Continued drinking water issues added with low to no management of resources on corporation front has led to devastated lifestyle in city. If such a situation continues, days are not far ahead that people would turn violent and Corporation may face attacks as those on Electricity Company offices.
