Srinagar- Chief Engineer of Public Health Engineering (PHE) Kashmir, Braham Jyoti Sharma, reaffirmed the department’s dedication to managing water resources efficiently and addressing public concerns despite challenges like low precipitation.
Sharma acknowledged the critical role of public cooperation in mitigating water scarcity and expressed hope for continued snowfall and rainfall to sustain water supply. He emphasized the department’s efforts to judiciously manage available water, ensuring no disruptions for farmers or irrigation-dependent individuals.
