Heat and water crisis have disturbed the lives of the villagers of the Akola district. The temperature has crossed 44 degrees, and in the same hot summer, there is a stimulant for ‘Saline Belt’ in rural villages, especially in the water. The situation of the Ugwa village in the district is very bad, and people go out by locking the water tanks and plastic drums that are placed outside the house, not the doors of their house. The reason is clear- fear of water theft!
Comes with water for a day or two days
In this village, each house is found in the barrels of water filled with water, in which drinking water is deposited for one to one and a half months. Villagers say that water comes after a month and it comes a day or two. In such a situation, people need to collect water under compulsion so that they will not long for every drop in the coming days.
“Now you are more valuable than wealth for us”- it must be said that this is a resident of Ukwa. He locked the water barrel instead of the door of his house. He says that if the water is stolen, you have to wait two months or get a tanker for 600 rupees. The same situation is also in Sushma Deshmukh, who locked her barrel.
‘In the absence of water, the daughters will not give’
Marriages in the village have been affected. Villagers say that the youth of the village did not have a wedding relationship due to shortage of water. People clearly say- “In the absence of water, the daughters will not give.” Thousands of rupees should be spent on water, so people are now afraid of marriage or big events. “84 keti project was done, but not provided”
The plans do not get down to the ground
Sachin Tendulkar, the leader of the Gram Panchayat, said that governments only create plans on paper, and their impact on the ground. If the administration does not resolve quickly, we will be rebellion.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a slogan ‘Every House in every House’, but these villages of Akola have pipes, but there is no water. Now that the water is more valuable than wealth, the government and the administration must take immediate action for this severe water crisis, otherwise the situation may worse.
In this regard, Gram Panchayat Sachin Bahakar’s opposition leader said that our issue has been going on for many years. The administration of the governing body does not pay attention to God. If the summer has come, if there is a shortage of water, this problem is important, but we are looking for clean cleaning water in 12 of this area, which failed in administration.
