The women of the village complained that the officials would not even send water in tankers, forcing them to buy the water at their own expense. As traffic flow was disrupted on the busy road, the police officials convinced the villagers to withdraw their protest, assuring them to take their issue to the notice of district-level officials and get it solved.
