S/J suffers water shortage
With the mercury ever on the rise, Samdrup Jongkhar is a place where life cannot be imagined without water. But this was exactly what residents of the busy town had been enduring for the past few days - living without water. In scorching heat, people carrying jerry cans in their cars and driving kilometres to fetch water has become a common sight these days. "It's a hot place and we need to take a bath every now and then, but there is no water,' said Kunzang, a private employee. "Forget about baths, we don't have water to drink and cook food.'
