\"\"Srinagar: Hundreds of households in south Kashmir\u2019s Shopian district are facing an acute shortage of water following recent rain and snowfall. Residents of Kathawhalan, Mujh Pathri, and Gatipora are struggling due to the non-availability of piped water.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the residents said they have been without potable water for the past few days, forcing them to travel long distances to fetch it.<\/p>\n

Abdul Aziz Butt, a resident of Gatipora, said the area has been grappling with a severe water shortage for the last five days, compelling them to rely on stream water.\u201cAmidst the biting cold, we have to leave our homes early in the morning to collect water,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that they used load carriers and other vehicles to transport water. He attributed the disruption in supply to a main pipeline that was cut a few days ago.<\/p>\n

The residents have urged authorities to restore the water supply immediately, especially in light of the holy month of Ramadan. \u201cDuring Ramadan, it will be even more difficult for us to travel long distances to fetch water,\u201d they said, expressing hope that the administration will ensure an adequate supply soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
