    Residents Demand Immediate Restoration of Supply or Free Tanker Service.

    JAMMU FEB 05:-Residents of Sunjwan, Jammu, took to the streets today under the leadership of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Safeer Choudhary, protesting against the Jal Shakti Department over a prolonged water crisis. The demonstration, held at the Meta Door Stand Sunjwan Jammu, was fueled by growing frustration over 55 days of disrupted water supply, forcing locals to rely on costly private tankers.

    Chanting slogans and holding placards, protesters accused the department of negligence and failure to address their grievances. Many highlighted the severe impact of the crisis on daily life, particularly in the prevailing harsh weather conditions.

    Speaking at the protest rally Choudhary slammed the authorities for their inaction, emphasizing that access to clean water is a fundamental right.

    “For nearly two months, residents have been left without a drop of water. Families are being forced to pay exorbitant prices for tankers, while those who can’t afford them are struggling to meet basic needs. The government must take responsibility and act immediately,” he said.

    Locals are demanding an urgent resolution to the crisis, including the immediate restoration of regular water supply and free tanker services until the issue permanently fixed. Despite multiple complaints, residents claim the Jal Shakti Department has failed to provide any concrete solutions.

    Protesters warned that if the authorities continue to ignore their plight, they will escalate their agitation in the coming days.

    Residents now await swift action, hoping for relief from the prolonged hardship that has disrupted their lives.

    RAJOURI FEB  04:–All the 11 patients from Badhal village, including three on ventilation, who were under treatment in Associated Hospital Government Medical College (AH GMC) Rajouri have recovered and shifted to general ward for further observation.

    This was disclosed by the Medical Superintendent AH GMC in a press briefing today.
    Earlier all the 11 patients are taken off of Atropine and their discharge has been postponed till the final diagnosis of the toxin consumed by them is made by the reports from the central forensic laboratories.
    “The final decision for their discharge will be taken by the higher authorities at Jammu or Delhi,” said the Medical Superintendent.
    Recently two high-level teams of experts from AIIMS New Delhi and PGIMER Chandigarh visited GMC Rajouri and Badhal area and interacted with the patients and inhabitants of the area both at Badhal and at observation centers in Rajouri.
    It is pertinent to mention here that 364 individuals from 87 families, including families of the 17 persons who died due to unidentified diseases, have been shifted to observation centers at Nursing College, Govt Model Boys HSS, and GMC Rajouri.
    All the central teams, including inter-ministerial constituted by the Home Minister, visited Rajouri and Badhal after the deaths of 17 people, including 13 children are working to find the possible cause, sources of toxin and to formulate the follow up and discharge policy of these patients so that proper treatment can be given to these patients at the time of discharge.
    High level AIIMS New Delhi team, headed by its Director had collected different sample, including of hairs, nails and blood of the patients, their close contacts and family members, soil from used water outlets, food items and medicines taken by them (& by the deceased), fresh vegetables from the plants of the affected families, water etc., left Rajouri on Monday.
    Meanwhile, those who have been shifted to observation centers have resented strongly their shifting to Rajouri.
    “For none of our fault we have been forced to live in the observation centers. We, including our children and girls, don’t have sufficient clothes, other items of daily use. Meals provided by the administration are also not satisfactory. Our livestock is also being looked after by the employees of Animal Husbandry and Agriculture departments,” said few among them.
    MLA Darhal, Javed Iqbal Choudhry, who is since the first day looking after the health and welfare of these people, also is in constant touch with people in observation centers and assured them of their early departure to their homes.
