Drought-hit Latur faces water crisis, tankers get police Protection
- 8 years ago
Maharastra's Latur district is reeling under a sever water crunch - with water taps running dry amid a drought. With storage water level in the three surrdounding reservoirs -- Dongargaon, Bhandarwadi and Manjra dams -- that supply water to the city reduced to nil or below 1 per cent, Latur seems to be heading towards an unprecedented crisis. Currently, long queues of pots and drums are common sight in Laturís bylanes and the arrival of a water tanker leads to a riot-like situation, even in affluent residential areas. Here, water tankers get police protection. Left with no other option, people in Latur migrate to other villages.
