Srinagar, Jan 29: As the temperature remains several notches below the freezing point, people are struggling with a water crisis because of freezing water taps, springs and supply lines across Kashmir.
Kashmir valley is reeling under an intense cold wave since the heavy snowfall earlier this month. The intense cold has resulted in the freezing of water supply lines and water bodies in several areas, including Dal lake.
The freezing of water pipes has caused water crisis across the Valley with people adopting different ways to de-freeze the water pipes. “All the water pipes that carry water to my house are blocked for last one month. Every day it takes me almost 2-3 hours to defreeze the water pipes, and my success rate is low. I have used every means to prevent the freezing, but I have failed to ensure the uninterrupted water supply,” Nasir Ahmad, a resident of Srinagar told Excelsior.
