MITHI: The Umerkot Municipality
administration has
stopped water supply to a school meant for children freed from bonded labour, Daily Times has learnt.
According to locals, the Umerkot Municipality officials have claimed that water supply to the school has been suspended, as the school falls out
of the jurisdiction.
The residents
of the
colony with the help
of the Association for Water, Applied Education and Renewable Energy (AWARE), a non-governmental organisation, had established the school to provide education to children of peasants freed from bonded labour.
Current
ly, 172 children are getting education at the school. The villagers have demanded the authorities concerned to install a reverse osmosis plant at the village to continue water supply.
