Watch: Maharashtra Woman Risks Life To Fetch Water From Almost Dry Well

In the video shared on Twitter, we see a woman making her way down a well, clinging to the tiny and near-invisible steps. The footage is from a village in Nashik district.

During summer, when many parts of India reel under drought and heatwave conditions, many women in rural areas have to risk their lives to fetch water for their families. One such video shows how sheer desperation for clean drinking water has driven a few women in Maharashtra to make a perilous descent into a deep well as water sources dry up. यह तस्वीर महाराष्ट्र के त्रयम्बकेश्वर के पास मेटघर गाँव की है...पीने के लिए पानी नहीं है, महिलाएं अपनी जान जोखिम में डाल पानी भर रही हैं.. यह सब 2022 में हो रहा है!केंद्र बनाम राज्य, हिन्दू मुस्लिम और ईडी-CBI जैसे बड़े मुद्दों के बीच महाराष्ट्र के ऐसे मूलभूत मुद्दे खो गए हैं.. pic.twitter.com/StZI95wKWD 6 April; येत्या ४८ तासांत उत्तर मध्य महाराष्ट्र आणि विदर्भाच्या काही भागात उष्णतेची लाट येण्याची शक्यता आहे.दक्षिण मध्य महाराष्ट्राच्या काही भागात गडगडाटासह हलका ते मध्यम पाऊस पडण्याची शक्यता आहे.- IMD pic.twitter.com/NzaC7U2mLS
