Handwara, Sept 03 (KNS): Residents of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Thursday expressed strong resentment against JalShakti Department who left filtration plant without roof.

According to locals, JalShakti erstwhile PHE Department constructed filtration plant in Lilam Ramhal area to provide potable water to large number of population but the department has left filtration plant without completing its roof top which left the site into dumping site for dead birds, animals etc.

A local Nadeem Ahmad told KNS that several times bills were drawn for its repairment but nothing has been done in this regard.

He also said that Government has spent lacs of rupees on the construction of filtration plant but leaving it without roof top, the site has been turned a safer place for animals and birds.

Locals appealed concern authorities to look into the matter and ensure safe drinking water to local population while completing the rooftop of filtration plant. (KNS)
