Allegedly, for the past one month, Laitumkhrah has been facing a huge shortage of water supply. It is testified by the residents of the locality, that even in the government water pipes the supply has become irregular. While speaking to the media, a resident said, “If water comes one day, it would not come for four days.” The water lines in Laitumkhrah falls under the Greater Shillong Urban Water Supply Scheme and Shillong Municipal Board Area, but no initiatives have been taken to resolve the problem
