Nashik: At present, severe heat is prevailing in many states of the country. The temperature is also increasing in Maharashtra. It has been scorching hot here for the past few days. People are suffering due to strong sunlight during the day and humidity at night. Now people are eagerly waiting for the arrival of the monsoon. But Maharashtra is not the only one facing a heat crisis. The only means to get relief from the heat is the severe crisis of water. Now once again there is a water problem in some parts of Maharashtra. The water crisis in a village in Nashik is such that women are forced to fetch water in the scorching sun.
Women descend into a well to collect water amid scorching heat due to water shortage, at a village in Peth, in Nashik, Maharashtra. Like every year in Nashik, this time also people are facing water problems during summer. After a lot of struggle, they get only a little water. Even drinking water is not available properly. Other water needs are a far cry.
At present, the water crisis has deepened in different areas of Nashik these days. People have to travel long distances to fetch water. The local people are demanding the government provide water facilities. People are getting drinking water with great difficulty. Tribal people of Bordhapada village, are forced to walk 2 km for drinking water even after so many years of independence.
Maharashtra State Minister Dadaji Bhuse said that efforts are being made to provide water in many villages of the state under the Jal Jeevan Mission. In addition, drinking water is being supplied to the affected villages from a nearby dam.
