If this happened during a different government, the JVP would have used it in the election propaganda and protested a lot. Now what? Realising the reality?

The new Govt. should look into this, people cannot afford for such a long water disconnection. This should be done two phase.

The water cut has already begun. Not on Saturday. No water on Kengalla since last evening (26th Sept 2024).
