Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh), Apr 13 (ANI): Amid the severe water crisis in Jhamtuli village of Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur, people are struggling and risking their lives for water. Local women have to travel miles to fetch water for their household chores. A larger part of Madhya Pradesh is reeling with water crisis. Villagers drink contaminated water from a deep well by filtering it with clothes in Chhatarpur’s Jhamtuli. Locals say, “We can’t even hold wedding ceremonies here and have to go to Delhi. Buffaloes have gone weak without adequate water and so we carry load ourselves.” Ajaz Khan, Sub-Divisional Officer, Public Health and Engineering Dept, Chhatarpur informed that a deep bore was drilled and water was found at the depth of 600 meters. “Now we will fit a submersible pump inside it, probably by tomorrow. We have also selected a point for hand pump,” he added.
