Srinagar, Nov 02: Jammu & Kashmir People’s Conference (JKPC) president Sajad Lone on Saturday expressed serious concern over the ongoing water crisis at Handwara Hospital for three consecutive days.
In a statement, the MLA Handwara said the water disruption stemmed from damage to the pipes due to a human error, reportedly by a department not responsible for water management.
“This deadlock between departments, despite both being under the same administration, has left patients and staff in dire need, with some even relying on mosque facilities for basic necessities,” he said.
Lone called on DC Kupwara to intervene urgently, stressing the critical need to restore the hospital’s water supply to safeguard patient care and restore essential services.
