Jindal gave handpump but mining has taken water level down so no water...

Shatali visiting with CGnet Swara Citizen Journalism Awareness Tour has reached Sarasmal village in Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh where women tell her that their main problem is water. They fetch drinking water from 5-6 kms there is no question of water for bathing. Jindal company helped them with hand pumps but due to mining by the same companies the water level has gone so down that apart from hand pumps old wells are now also dry. Shatali@9479598133
