The women of Siolim constituency have come out onto the roads to protest the lack of water in the constituency. These women say that they are forced to go out and gather water from other places just to be able to run their households. If the problem is not resolved immediately the women threaten to boycott all 4 booths of the Siolim constituency.



There has been no maintenance work for the line in the 25 years since its installation, say locals. Our vote is cast with the faith that government will fulfill its promises.

But are left disappointed time and again, says Gitesh Sarang, a social worker from Siolim. The new pipeline that is installed, only serves hotels in the area who enjoy 24x7 supply while locals suffer every day,says Jagarnath Gaokar, resident of Siolim.

The locals say that they have taken the matter to the officials several times who had promised to regularize the supply initially, but are now ignoring the calls and requests for help.

Till now we have been coming out onto streets to protest, but if things continue in this manner we will walk till Mapusa’s PWD office and hold a morcha there, warns Sarang.
