Mantralayam Residents Protest Water Crisis, Demand Immediate Action
Imagine not having any clean water to drink, cook with, or even take a bath.
That's what happened to the people of the 15th Ward in Mantralayam.
They haven't had water for almost two weeks!
The water they do get is dirty and has things like bugs in it.
So, they decided to do something about it.
They went to a busy spot with empty pots to show how upset they were.
They want the people in charge to fix the problem and give them clean water.
The leader of the village promised to fix it right away and put in new pipes.
The people are hoping the problem will be solved soon!
