First 'Water train' leaves Miraj for drought-hit Latur
Ten railway wagons with five lakh liters of water left from Miraj Junction railway station for Latur in Marathwada region on Monday.
Miraj (Maharashtra) : Ten railway wagons with five lakh liters of water left from Miraj Junction railway station for Latur in Marathwada region on Monday.
On April 8, one of two goods trains carrying 50 wagons of water for drought-affected areas of Latur departed from Kota workshop for Miraj in Pune division.
The locals in the drought-hit Latur District of Maharashtra are forced to travel long distances for water, as it is experiencing an unprecedented water scarcity this summer.
According to the villagers, the administration sends limited water tankers to the village. The villagers either have to buy water or get them from the nearby farm. The women of the village have to bring water from across two kilometres. The villagers spent almost the whole day sourcing water.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had earlier said that the state government and the railway ministry were working hard to bring relief to people in drought-affected region.
