The protesters raised slogans against the Nawabshah municipal administration for its failure to supply drinking water.

They said that they were passing a miserable life in hot weather as there was no water for the last many days.

They said that the taluka municipal administration was not doing anything in this regard even after many complaints were made to officials concerned.

They said that the TMA was selling water to ice factories and people were suffering.
