Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, will face a significant disruption in its potable water supply for 24 hours, beginning at 6 am on Monday. This interruption is due to urgent repair works on the Sindh Power Canal, which will affect the raw water supply to the Water Treatment Plants in Alusteng and Rangil. Over 50 areas will be impacted, including the majority of the Old City and surrounding neighborhoods such as Zakoora, Gulab Bagh, and Soura. Residents are urged to store enough water to meet their needs during this period. Compounding the situation, a power shutdown on Sunday hindered water storage efforts, particularly in the tail-end areas. The Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation has reported power outages affecting several localities, making it challenging for residents to prepare for the upcoming water disruption. For any complaints regarding water scarcity, the water works division has provided contact numbers for a 24/7 control room.
