A group of locals picketed the office of Dharan sub-metropolitan city in Sunsari on Tuesday against the failure of the municipality to provide adequate drinking water to the residents of the municipality. The locals carrying placards and empty water jars in a symbolic protest picketed at the gate of the sub-metropolitan city.

The group chanted slogans after the deputy-mayor of the sub-metropolitan city did not come to hear their problems at first. When the deputy-mayor finally showed up to them, a representative of the protesting group submitted a 7-point memorandum to her.
