Kanthal River Dries Up in Susner, Raising Water Crisis Fears

Kanthal River Dries Up in Susner, Raising Water Crisis Fears

There is a river called Kanthal in a town named Susner in Madhya Pradesh, India.

It is supposed to be the rainy season, but not enough rain has fallen.

The river used to have water all through the year.

Now the riverbed is visible, with just small pools of water left.

People in the town are worried because the river helps refill the groundwater they use.

Farmers are worried too, because their crops need rain to grow well.

In another story from the same district, students at a school asked for a teacher to be removed.

They said the teacher had done something very wrong.

Three officials have been asked to visit the school, listen to the students, and write a report.

After the report, action will be taken if the teacher is found guilty.
