Sivaganga: Women protest at Collectorate over water crisis
Villagers in Sivaganga staged a protest with empty pots at the Collectorate, demanding a solution to the ongoing water shortage in their village.
Residents of Sathamangalam, under the Thayamangalam panchayat near Ilayangudi in Sivaganga district, are facing a severe water crisis following the breakdown of a local borewell. With the water supply suspended, residents have been forced to fetch water from neighboring villages.
Frustrated by the lack of action, women from the village gathered at the district Collectorate yesterday with empty pots to protest. They submitted a petition to the Collector urging immediate measures to restore water supply.
