Police
cane women protesting against water scarcity in Ajmer Ajmer:
Police resorted to baton-charge following a scuffle with scores of women protesting
against water scarcity in Ajmer. The city has been reeling under acute water shortage
for the past four days. Angry residents of a locality that receives its piped
water supply from an adjacent cantonment took to the streets on Thursday. When
the police asked the protesters to disperse, a scuffle followed, prompting the
police to baton-charge the mob. Some residents as well as policemen were injured
in the clashes while the police detained half a dozen miscreants. Incidents of
people protesting utterly poor service by utilities such as power and water supply
and garbage disposal are on the rise across the country, as urban conglomerates
tend to collapse under the pressure of population explosion. -July
