Upset over non-supply of drinking water, about 200 persons, including 150 women, belonging to some villages today entered the Collectorate here with empty plastic pots and staged a sit-in before the Panchayat officer for a while.

The protesters demanded water supply to their areas.

They said for the past two months they were getting irregular water supply for drinking and other domestic purposes. Despite their repeated requests, no action was taken by the panchayat, they alleged and demanded immediate water supply through water lorries.

The panchayat officials met the representatives of the group and pacified them, saying they would arrange for water lorries soon. Following this, the group dispersed.
