Kulgam, January, 12: Residents of Bungam Nageenpora Kund village in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district have been facing shortage of portable water for the past few days.

Meanwhile, the residents appealed to the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kulgam and other concerned officials to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) Jal Shakti Department, Qazigund, Muhammad Rafiq, said that due to drought and lack of snowfall this year, the water flow in the springs has reduced, due to which water in the village has decreased. He added that we are working on it to solve this issue at earliest.
