According to Kashmir Media Service, men and women from the locality took to the Kupwara\u2013Sopore road on Monday to protest against the authorities\u2019 failure to ensure a regular water supply. The demonstration caused disruption to traffic, highlighting the severity of the crisis and the anger among the local population.<\/p>\n
Protesters said the area had been facing an acute shortage of drinking water for several weeks, forcing residents to endure severe hardship. They complained that repeated appeals to the concerned departments had yielded no results, exposing the occupation regime\u2019s apathy towards basic civic needs in the occupied territory.<\/p>\n

They maintained that such failures were deepening public resentment and eroding trust in the occupation administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
