Belthangadi: As there is a serious problem of drinking water in D.K. district at present, it is better to reconsider the date of commencement of schools and colleges. Vidhan Parishad member Pratapasimha Naik has demanded that the district administration should take an appropriate decision in this regard.
He held a press conference on Saturday and explained the seriousness of the water shortage across the district.
According to the weather report, the rainy season will start after the first week of June. The lack of pre-monsoon rains has created water scarcity. As a result of this, water drought has occurred in schools, colleges and hostels. A circular has already been issued that schools and colleges will start on May 29. It is not appropriate to call the students and then send them home because there is no water. This will be a problem for students coming from abroad. Therefore, he demanded that the starting date of the schools should be postponed.Not only in the city, but also in the rural areas, water scarcity has arisen. In these days of people’s distress, the district administration should call a meeting of the people’s representatives to review the situation and take appropriate action for the solution. Currently, water is being supplied through tankers, some voluntary organizations and individuals. However, he urged the district administration and the government to conduct a study and find a solution with the aim of giving an organized form..
BJP welcomes people’s verdict. People’s decision is final. Congratulating the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and Cabinet on behalf of BJP Belthangadi Mandal who took oath on Saturday, Naik expressed confidence that BJP will act as a strong opposition inside and outside the assembly, very efficiently, responsibly and always cautiously.
