Now, the residents of Bhatlem are experiencing water scarcity and low pressure problem since the last few days. As there was no respite, a resident Ramchandra Ajgaonkar, a retired government servant on Sunday tried to contact the PWD (water supply) junior engineer and assistant engineer but in vain. He then visited the PWD (Water Supply) office at St Inez to enquire about the water shortage. Raju Vadavadekar also from Bhatlem complained that water supply was irregular for the last four days. Admitting that even though the power supply problem has not been fully resolved, Fernandes said the power cuts have reduced.
