PUBLIC INTEREST LETTER

JJ Colony

Jabalpur

SUBJECT: Scarcity of water in Colony.

Hon'ble sir,

I’m a 1 st year Public spirited law student at ITM University Gwalior, and currently

working as an intern UbAdvocate. Sir through this letter I want to draw the

attention of the authorities towards the problem of water scarcity in JJ Colony.

JJ Colony is a jhuggi slum area, where about 10,000 people reside. They are poor

and ignorant about rights in law. They do not have any means to come to court also

from last two months there has been a serious drinking water problem. Earlier

government used to send water tanks on daily basis. Water level has gone down,

pumps sets are prohibited by the government. Due to this, people are suffering in

terms of health, hygiene, law and order. A number of representations made to

government and all concerned authorities but in vain. They are either in bad

condition or out of control. They supply very little water after the hard labor. It is

not enough for the people of this locality. Even the wells in our locality are dry.

People cannot get water from them enough to fulfill their needs. Because of this

people have to fetch water from a long distance. They spend a lot of time in

bringing water. This affects in their daily work. The time which they have to spend

on their necessary work has to spend on bringing water.

Therefore I request the concerning authorities to look into the matter seriously and

take necessary steps for solving the problem. So the water supply may kindly be

made daily in our locality. People may get rid of the problem of poor water supply.

I shall be highly obliged to you.

Thanking you sir,

Yours Faithfully
