Water Woes In Borchibari: Another Struggling Village In Maharashtra, Gripped By Summer, Where The State바카라 웹사이트Remains바카라 웹사이트Absent

After a video by ANI showing women climbing down the well of borchvari village went viral, the sarpanch announced the sale of 200-liter water barrels at ₹60. But most families cannot afford even that. And so, their treacherous journey to other villages for water continues.

At 4 p.m., as the sun still hangs high in the sky, women step out with empty barrels, pots, and buckets. They walk two kilometers to Kumbhale, where a well with a slightly better water table is located—though it, too, is rapidly depleting.

On their way back, Savita Busare often passes the government tank built five years ago. It has never functioned properly—its structure leaking from the start.

Bharti Gavit, originally from Gujarat, got married into this village 18 years ago. She had no idea about the acute water scarcity in Borchiwari. Her husband is often away, driving a truck. Still, she ensures their 16-year-old son never goes to college with an empty water bottle.
