Hyderabad, Sept. 20 -- A large group of women in Telangana's Komaram Bheem Asifabad protested on Saturday, September 20, over water scarcity and alleged that tankers had stopped coming to their areas.

"Since the formation of Telangana, this is the first time we are facing water scarcity. We don't have water for bathing or washing clothes," a woman in Kagaznagar mandal of Asifabad district said.

"We have borewells installed at our houses. However, we have to wait for 1-2 hours before we can use the water from there," the woman said.

They said that even after repeated pleas, officials of the Mission Bhagiratharemained unresponsive. "Whenever we visit the office, they say that the water will be supplied in a few days," the woman added.
