Srinagar: The residents of Stadium Colony in northern Kashmir’s Baramulla Monday morning held a protest demonstration against the Irrigation and Flood Control department for filing to repair the seepage in a water canal due to which water enters the compounds of several houses.

The protesting residents blocked the Baramulla-Handwara road and are demanding immediate repair of the bunds of the canal.

They also demanded that strict action should be taken against the department for failing to act on time. The residents said that the seepage has left the whole area submerged.
