Chhattisgarh village residents struggle to get clean drinking water

Feb 05, 2022

Balrampur (Chhattisgarh), Feb 05 (ANI): Residents of the Sanmandra village in the Balrampur district of Chhattisgarh are forced to fetch water from distant places. Residents are forced to drink contaminated water as the village lacks a hand pump or well. The village is also devoid of a cemented road, forcing them to take a rocky path for their daily needs. "We are forced to consume contaminated water and keep falling ill. No proper source of water here. There's no road either. If someone falls ill, we carry them for around 5 km before getting an auto to take them to the hospital," said local.
