KENDRAPARA: Women carrying pitchers and trudging miles to fetch water is a common sight in the interior areas of Kendrapara these days. Water crisis has gripped the villages as summer slowly peaks.
Due to over exploitation of groundwater over past few years, the water table has gone down drastically in many areas.
Wells have dried up and tube wells are lying defunct.
