THE people of Thar have suffered enough. They don’t have proper medical or education facilities. They don’t even have clean water to drink.
The women of Thar are responsible for fetching water for their families. They have to walk three to four kilometres every day to the well to get water for their daily use. The water they have access to is contaminated and one of the root causes of water-borne diseases.
Thar’s severe water shortage has left thousands and animals dead as well.
The government should take some decisive action and ensure water is available to the people of Thar.
