Its Hot and Dry

The heat is tremendous as the month of May has begun. Schools are closed for summer, wells are drying and hand pumps are surrendering.

The electricity keeps playing up. It came on yesterday after two full days.

Regarding Hand pumps;

A few years back many people had been given hand pumps by the government through the MLA Mr. J. P. Galstaun.

I too got a free bore well a few years ago, but now it has collapsed. It was 200 feet when bored and now its just 75 feet.

During the election period, Mr. Ram Tahal Chaudhary (BJP) provided bore wells with the latest technique which uses small stone chips and casing that runs down to the end of the bore. This method does not allow a bore to collapse. Its is costlier no doubt, but good for years.
