Water supply, one of the major concerns of the organizing committee

As a prelude to the 113th edition of the annual Ziarra of Léona Niassène (Commune of Kaolack), a Regional Development Committee (CRD) was held this Tuesday in the meeting room of the great mosque of the religious city for a smooth running of this religious event.

Despite the promises of the department heads who are committed to properly taking care of all the needs that have been formulated, except that the Léona Niassene organizing committee is concerned about the correct supply of drinking water.

“The only concern that has been expressed here is in relation to the water supply in the Léona Niassene district. It must be said that it is a fairly serious problem. It is because of the loss of a drilling therefore linked to the reach of salt water which is extremely present here. The quality of the water had taken a big hit. It is water which is extremely salty,” declared Mouhamadou Moctar Watt, Governor. of Kaolack who announced a battery of measures to deal with this problem. “La Sen’Eau has simply decided to review its distribution plan so that a few days before the religious event, most of the production is directed to the Léona Niassène district, also in the vicinity of the Dialègne district in order to satisfy the enormous need for water during this Ziarra”, specified the regional executive.

Remember that the annual Ziarra of Léona Niassène which brings together hundreds of followers of Mame Khalifa Niass each year, will be celebrated on February 1, 2025.
