Ralaman, a 30 -year -old villager at Murli Village, told reporters that since his birth, water supply has been unstable. "When it comes to water, it is only half an hour to 45 minutes. I have never seen the water that can continue to be supplied for 1 hour. Sometimes power outages, 5 to 8 days without water."
