JAMMU: Commissioner Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) Dr. Devansh Yadav today visited Company Bagh in the city to inspect the water tankers deployed to meet the drinking water needs of the residents. Continuous and heavy rainfall over the past few days has severely disrupted the regular water supply network, creating widespread inconvenience and shortage of safe drinking water in several localities.
In response to this crisis, the Jammu Municipal Corporation has mobilized maximum resources and initiated free water tanker supply across the city. Tankers have been strategically stationed to serve the most affected and densely populated areas, ensuring that basic drinking water requirements are met on an urgent basis.
During the visit, Dr. Yadav interacted with residents and field staff to review the supply arrangements. He emphasized that water tankers are presently being provided on a community-based system, where tankers are dispatched to designated collection points in each locality. From these points, residents can fetch drinking water for their homes.
Clarifying the situation, Dr. Yadav said that individual household delivery of tankers is not possible at this stage due to the high demand and the ongoing challenges posed by the weather. However, he informed citizens that they may avail private water tankers after 7:00 PM if additional supply is needed, as the government resources are fully engaged during the day to serve the maximum number of areas.
The Commissioner assured that this is a temporary emergency arrangement and that JMC teams are working round-the-clock to restore normal water supply systems as soon as the rainfall subsides and technical repairs are completed.
Helpline numbers have also been established to assist citizens in reporting shortages and requesting tanker services in their localities. Dr. Yadav appealed to residents to remain patient, cooperate with the administration and use water judiciously during this challenging period.
