They keep pulling the alarm bells but to no avail. Local residents are already starting to fight each other as a result of the lack of water for almost a month. “There is not even a drop left, but Mandroseza is not far from us. The river can even be seen from Alasora” according to comments. As a result of this difficulty yesterday, the local public representatives met with the city manager to find a solution. After that, they gathered again last night and did some kind of awareness march. It looks like the lid is about to explode, but it is still in the wisdom of the people that they did the alarm. And the people really came in large numbers even though they only called each other through social networks. The road was cut off last night and that’s when the security forces intervened to arrest the protestors. Two were arrested at the time of writing and the situation in the area is still very mixed. It should be remembered that in several areas of the capital, people came out of their houses and lit fires on the side of the road to alert the authorities. One of them was here in Fort-Duchesne on Tuesday night. Another thing that makes people angry is paying the rent for the counter but the water doesn’t even work. People’s anger is starting to come out because of the lack of water. We need to keep a close eye on this movement here and there, which is really public anger, not politics.
