Massive water crisis hits TN’s Madurai

Jun 09, 2019

Madurai (Tamil Nadu), Jun 09 (ANI): Villagers of Madurai’s Melur are facing acute water crisis. Due to acute water shortage and non-availability of clean drinking water, locals have to go through a mundane struggle to fetch water in the heat. There has been no monsoon rain in Melur’s Karungalakudi village for the past seven years and almost all the water bodies have dried up. Villagers have to walk miles away from their home to fetch water each day to fulfill their daily needs. Facing a heavy paucity of clean drinking water, villagers fetch water from wells containing dirty muddy water. Due to lack of monsoon rains in this region, the agriculture fields in and around this village have completely destroyed and turned into barren land.
