Amid a water crisis in the area, tribal people of Bordhapada village in Maharashtra’s Nashik have been walking 2 km to fetch water from a well.
The people of Bordhapada have appealed to the administration to provide them with water facilities. “There are 2 wells in our village but they have dried up so we have to fetch water from the bottom of the hill which is 2 km away. Many women suffer injuries while going there. We demand the administration to give us water facility as soon as possible,” said a tribal woman.
According to the residents, the water crisis has become worse in the remote hilly villages, especially the Peth tribal Bordhapada village development block of Nashik taluka of Maharashtra.
