Water scarcity in Madhya Pradesh

As per a report of ANI, a group of roughly 250 women from the village of Angrotha in Madhya Pradesh cut a hill in the last 18 months. The aim was to create a way for water to reach a pond inside the village. While talking to ANI, a local woman, Babita Rajput, said, "We have been working for over 18 months to channel into the village, the water that used to freely flow in the forest and thus could not be used. So, the women in the village formed a group and it was decided to cut the hill to a length of about half kilometres and make way for the water to fall into a pond in the village".
