Kashmir stares at water crisis as dry spell expected to continue
Srinagar, September 14: As dry spell sweeps, Kashmir Valley is staring at a massive water crisis even the Chief Engineer Public Health Engineering Department (PHE) admitted that it is an alarming situation and that people should use water judiciously.
Much to the concern of the administration almost all the water bodies have dried up forcing the PHE department to supply potable water in water tankers in different localities, that face water shortages.
“The dry spell is definitely going to hit us. Even at present the situation is quite alarming. Water is a natural product and we can’t generate it. We have to distribute whatever is available with us and so people have to understand it and use it judiciously,” Chief Engineer PHE, Sanjeev Malhotra said.(CNI)
