A group of women from Tamp Rigan village in Iranshahr County gathered outside the village fuel station on the evening of Monday, 2 November 2026 (11 Aban 1405), to protest a six-day interruption to drinking water supplies, bread shortages and unemployment.
The women demanded that the authorities urgently address the problems facing local residents.
During the peaceful gathering, the protesters highlighted the lack of access to drinking water and water needed for basic hygiene. They expressed their frustration over the continuing water outage and the authorities' failure to address the essential needs of the village's residents.
According to one woman who participated in the protest, residents of Tamp Rigan had been without access to drinking water and water for hygiene purposes for six days. Despite the prolonged disruption, she said no measures had yet been taken to resolve the problem or provide the water needed by the community.
In addition to the water shortage, residents of the village are facing economic difficulties, including bread shortages and unemployment. These problems have made it increasingly difficult for families to meet their everyday needs.
The protesting women emphasised that, unless the authorities respond to their demands and take action to address their concerns, they will continue holding nightly protest gatherings.
