We only depend on tap water.
If we don’t get water immediately, we plan to Go to where our relatives.
“Other residents of Sainaagar, said Marcela,” Our flats have a big tank.
So there is no problem until Monday morning.
On Sunday night, I know the water will be restored by late at night.
But this doesn’t happen.
Now we are Planning to buy water tankers.
“Nivruti Parsekar, PWD executive engineer who tried to Tiswadi and Ponda Talukas, said that because water flowed faster towards the building, consumers who lived in higher altitude areas could face problems.
