Ranchi: Residents of wards 30 and 31 are staring at yet another thirsty summer as the ground water level in both continues to recede at an alarming rate.
But residents in our locality have been fighting with each other over water for years.
In 2016, some middle-income residents of a few localities started water harvesting at their residences.
But this was yet to be adopted by most of the residents in the area.
Suman Kumar Arya, a resident of Sukhdeonagar in ward 31, explained why rain water harvesting did not click.
They don’t know what rain harvesting is all about and have a very poor civic sense.
People throw garbage anywhere they like," he said.
If summer is notorious for water crisis, monsoon causes water logging and floods several localities.
Besides water crisis, law and order problems is another issue that needs attention.
Ward 31 councillor Asha Devi, too, said water scarcity was the biggest problem in her area.
