SHILLONG, MAR 13: The Tura Polytechnic Students’ Union (TPSU) on Wednesday requested the Director of Higher and Technical Education (DHTE) to intervene into irregular and inadequate supply of water in the hostels.
The union in its complaint said, “It’s been more than a month since our classes had started we are facing this issue (water crisis). Almost Rs 15,000 we’ve spent in buying water and currently we are facing a challenge in managing both the mess expenses and water.”
“Inadequate supply of water disrupting various daily activities such as personal hygiene, drinking, cooking, laundry and cleaning our living spaces,” it said.
Further, the union said that the absence of the Head of the Institution in the Institute disengaged the students to address this matter.
“The above issue had been addressed to the principal since February 19 but unfortunately no action has been taken,” it said.
