| Voice of Jaipur : Gopal
Rathod
Government has not provided us with pipelines for water. People
are forced to walk long distance to fill water. This is a very tedious
work and time consuming.
Filth and garbage pile occupies half the road and it emits fouls
smell.
There are no provisions for bathroom and toilet. People are forced
to do everything in the open. Women are adversely hit by this.
We face frequent load shedding. Many people are using illegal electricity.
Government should do something about it.
