Water crisis in Jharkhand: A serious problem of drinking water has arisen in Dom Tola of Khairachatar and Ghansi Tola of Bagda under Kasmar block. The situation is such that we have to struggle day and night to make arrangements for drinking water. About 200 SC families live in Dom Tola. The women here have to line up from around 2 o’clock in the night to get water from the only hand pump located near the locality. The reason is that this chapakal has now started responding. Due to not enough water coming out, women are keeping vigil in turn. During this, clashes also happen many times.
The villagers told that this locality was dependent on the only solar water tower. He is also bad since two months. Water is not coming out of the water tower due to the sinking of the boring. From panchayat representatives to officials were told many times to get the boring fixed, but no one has taken interest. Jalminar was built with the funds of the 15th Finance Commission. The situation has become alarming due to the absence of chapakal, well or any other source of drinking water in the township.

Villagers of Ghansi Tola are dependent on other localities
Here, about 50-55 SC families live in Ghasi Tola of Bagda. The whole colony was dependent on only one handgun, but it has also responded. In such a situation, the villagers have to depend on Chapakal located at Chakraborty Tola to fill water. Many problems are being faced regarding this. Panchayat Samiti member Mau Bhattacharya told that the department is not serious about this. The departmental Junior Engineer was told about this, but he is cutting the Kanni by saying that there is no necessary material to repair the handgun. It is said that if some new handrails are not installed soon after repairing the damaged handrails, then the villagers will be forced to walk on the road.
