*BICHOLIM* The PWD has been regularly accused of failing to provide regular water supply, but at the Bicholim fish market it is just the other opposite. According to sources, a tap at the Bicholim fish market is running continuously without being noticed by the PWD or Bicholim Municipal Council (BMC). “The broken tap supplies water continuously from 8 am to 4 pm,” Samresh Kanekar told Herald. It is surprising to note that the tap hardly goes dry and this is going on since the last two months. “I’m a frequent visitor to the market and since the last two months, the tap is flowing without anyone noticing it. Neither the PWD nor BMC is concerned about it and thousands litres of water has already been wasted,” added Kanekar. As the water is flowing continuously, buckets are kept under it. “It is sad that the government officers are unaware of the situation and it is high time that something should be done in the matter as this water might also give rise to mosquito breeding site,” Kanekar said.
