After two months of a worsening water shortage, public patience has snapped. Women and children marched on the main road in Khomer, carrying pots to protest the lack of supply, causing traffic to be halted for several hours. Expensive water tankers have left residents helpless, and demonstrators warned they will expand the protests if water delivery does not improve. The protest, which also included large numbers of children shouting slogans, blocked the central thoroughfare, disrupting traffic flow and daily commutes. Protesters said that despite multiple demonstrations in Khomer, Jatiyal and surrounding areas over the past two months, authorities have taken no serious action. They accused the administration of indifference despite repeated requests, leaving the public in severe distress. Women demonstrators reported acute water scarcity across various Gilgit neighborhoods, including Nagral, Kulchnot, Haideri Mohalla, Khomer, and Jatiyal, forcing residents to purchase costly water from tankers. The poor cannot afford these expenses, leading to heightened hardship. Protesters demanded immediate water supply from the government and relevant agencies, warning that the protest scope will widen if the issue remains unresolved. Police and administration arrived in large numbers to negotiate and reopen the road for traffic. Local leaders also urged the government to address the injustice of depriving citizens of the basic human need for water.
