Kundapur, Mar 8: The wards within the Municipal jurisdiction of Kundapur town Municipality such as Karvi-keri, Maddugudde, Church road, Voderhobli, Sangama circle and other places have been experiencing acute drinking water shortage.

The earlier ruling Congress Town Municipal councilors have, during their regime, resolved to commence supply of drinking water from Varahi Dam by March 2007. But the problem of water scarcity has aggravated due to the slow progress in laying out the pipeline connections to houses, and residences.

The Congress former councillors Devaki Sannayya, Janab Haroon Saheb, Jacob D’souza, Lany Crasta, Vinaya Pais, K G Nityananda, Ganesh Sherigara, Kasturi have presented a strong case on behalf of the local citizens to the Chief Officer.
