With the onset of summer across the country, the Dhangaon village in the Nandurbar district of Maharashtra – a tribal dominated area – is facing a water crisis, with locals highlighting the lack of facilities, news agency ANI reported.

Women in the village said they are compelled to travel several kilometres each day in search of water for their families. One of the locals stated that she has to walk seven to eight kilometres under the scorching sun, with no paved roads or access to transport.
