Adilabad: Women staged a rasta-roko on a road with empty vessels at Hanumannagar Colony in Muthnoor village of Indervelli mandal on Sunday, protesting against an alleged drinking water crisis.
Women from the predominantly Dalit colony blocked traffic on the Untoor-Adilabad road, demanding that officials address their drinking water shortage. They raised slogans against local public representatives and officials for failing to resolve the issue. Vehicular movement on the busy road came to a halt for two hours following the protest.
On receiving information, Muthnoor vice-sarpanch Rahul Bhonsle rushed to the spot and held discussions with the protesting women. He persuaded them to speak to local MLA Vedma Bojju over the phone. The women withdrew their protest after Bojju promised to resolve the issue at the earliest.
