As Nagaland grapples with severe water scarcity exacerbated by prolonged dry spells, the Executive Engineer of the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) Urban Division in Kohima issues a heartfelt plea to the public for cooperation and understanding during these challenging times. In a press release, the Executive Engineer underscored the critical nature of the situation, emphasizing the detrimental impact of the ongoing dry phases on water sources.

The Executive Engineer expressed gratitude for the unwavering support of the community, emphasizing that collective cooperation is essential in navigating through this period of scarcity. Amidst the adversity, the PHED Urban Division reassures the public of its relentless efforts to mitigate the impact of water shortages to the best of its abilities. However, the success of these endeavors hinges significantly on the cooperation and understanding of all stakeholders.
In closing, the Executive Engineer implored citizens to exercise prudence in water usage and to explore alternative conservation measures wherever possible. Together, with the support of the community, the PHED Urban Division endeavors to overcome the challenges posed by water scarcity and ensure the well-being of all residents.
