Man Bathes On Street With Drain Water, Sings To Protest Water Shortage In Guwahati

The Guwahati Metropolitan Drinking Water and Sewerage Board had earlier issued a notice on November 14 announcing that the water supply would be interrupted for three days from November 15.

In an unusual way of protest, a middle-aged man in Guwahati city bathed with dirty drain water on the streets to protest the protracted trouble in water supply across a major part of Assam's main city.

Pradeep Barman, a resident of Guwahati's Anil Nagar took an odd strategy to highlight disruption of water supply for the sixth day on Wednesday.

Mr Barman took out a container full of water from a drain and poured it on his body to demonstrate what the citizens have been resorting to because of the water shortage.
