Goa Congress President Girish Chodankar on Saturday criticised the state government after there was a shortage of water in the area for not making adequate efforts to provide alternative arrangements to people in the capital and nearby areas.

"Imagine, the state capital being without water for 48 hours! The government has not even promised credible alternative solutions. Even the water tanker supply, which the government had promised is not regular on the first day itself," he said while addressing a press conference.
