Lakhs of litres of water wasted as water line leaks in Dhoraji's Vokla Kantha area

In Dhoraji city of Rajkot district, a leakage in the main drinking water line and connections has surfaced due to the administration's negligence. According to a report by Sandesh, lakhs of litres of pure drinking water are being wasted in the Vokla Kantha area, flowing onto the roads and into the Vokla.

In the city, the problem of waterlogging in various areas without rain has become a permanent issue over the last few days, creating a monsoon-like atmosphere on the roads. While citizens are struggling for drinking water on one hand, water is being wasted due to the municipality's inactivity on the other.

Currently, during the Diwali festival, a large number of people have come out to the markets and main roads for shopping. As water flows on the roads, pedestrians and motorists are facing immense hardship. Local residents are expressing strong resentment towards the municipality due to the mud and slush on the roads during the festive season.

Local residents have demanded that the administration repair this leakage at the earliest so that the wastage of water stops and people get relief.
