Villagers Protest Plans to Bury Historic Matha Well

Villagers Protest Plans to Bury Historic Matha Well

In a village called Sorala, people are very upset because someone wants to bury an old, important well called the Matha Well.

This well was built a long time ago in 1949 by a man named Ekadasi Baba to help the village during a water shortage.

For many years, the whole village used this well for their water.

But now, the well is not being taken care of, and the husband of the local village leader wants to bury it to make space for a transformer.

The villagers and some monks called Alekh Mahima Sadhus are very angry and want to protect the well.

They say the well still has good water and can help the village in the future.

They are asking the government to help save the well.
