Melghat Villagers Face Decades-Long Water Crisis

Melghat Villagers Face Decades-Long Water Crisis

Villagers in Melghat, India, face a severe water shortage every summer, lasting for three decades.

They must search for water in wells, sometimes risking their lives, as the water table is low due to the area's geography.

The government has initiated a project to bring water to homes by next summer, but in the meantime, water tankers are providing a temporary solution.

Locals are unhappy with the pace of government work.

Officials are saying that by next summer, every home will receive water through taps.
