An official said that upon receiving a complaint mentioning concerns about the shortage of drinking water in Bardum-Thovina, Deputy Commissioner Kargil directed the Public Health Engineering Department (PHE), Kargil, to address the matter urgently. Upon investigation, it was found that the existing water scheme was functional but experienced a reduction in yield at the delivery points.
