Water Woes in Rainy Village: Saripalla Residents Struggle

In Saripalla village near Mangaluru, people don't have water even when it rains a lot.

The problem isn't a lack of water; there's a well that's full.

The trouble is the electric pump that's supposed to bring the water to homes doesn't work reliably because of power problems.

This means families have to collect rainwater and save it.

They have asked for help for years, but the water supply keeps failing.

Officials say they are fixing the power issues, but the villagers are still waiting for a reliable water supply.
