In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, residents of Sumbal area of North Kashmir’s Bandipora district staged a demonstration against the anti-people policies of the authorities.
The protest was held against the Irrigation and Flood Control Department’s failure to start the irrigation schemes meant for irrigating the fields.
The protesting residents said despite repeated reminders and requests the concerned Executive Engineer has not started the irrigation schemes in the area.
They said that their fields would turn barren since the irrigation facilities are not available to them.—KMS
