Port Blair, Aug 29: Two special camps were organized, on last two Sundays i.e. 21st & 28th August, 2016, for collection of pending dues of water charges. A special counter for collection of water dues is also being set up on 30th & 31st August, 2016 at Bathubasti, Labour Club (near Petrol Bunk) for collection of water charges between 9.00 am to 1.00 pm for Ward Nos. 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 & 24.
Though a large number of consumers had cleared their water dues, yet a good number of consumers did not pay the same.

From 1st September, 2016 onwards, the Port Blair Municipal Council will start dis-connecting the water supply to those consumers who fail to clear their water dues by 31st August, 2016.
