The delay in monsoon has added to people’s woes who are already reeling under water scarcity. The problem has now worsened in Central Nagpur as citizens take to streets.
Central Nagpur staged demonstrations against the drinking water crisis and supply of adulterated water in many areas in central Nagpur. The agitators led by Adv Nanda Parate met NMC Assistant Commissioner, Prakash Warhade on this issue.
