Troubled and helpless, the residents blocked roads and staged demonstrations against irregular water supply and shortage of drinking water in several areas of the city.

Major protests were reported from Palda Square and Deendayal Upadhyay Square in Sukhliya Zone-5, where local residents along with Congress leaders and workers staged sit-ins and chakka jams demanding immediate relief from the ongoing water crisis.

At Palda Square, another protest was led by Congress councillor Kunal Solanki and included residents from Ward 75 and Ward 64. 

Deendayal Upadhyay Square also saw a demonstration under the leadership of councillor Raju Bhadauria, where people raised slogans against the administration and demanded regular water supply, proper tanker arrangements and a permanent solution to the issue.

Due to the road blockade, passengers remained stranded inside city buses for several hours, causing traffic congestion and inconvenience to commuters.

Residents alleged that despite repeated complaints, the water problem in many colonies has not been resolved. 

Protesters said people in several localities are struggling to arrange drinking water as supply remains irregular during the peak summer season.
