Madhya Pradesh Water Shortage

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, some days ago, had said that by 2024 tap water would be supplied in all villages in the state.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called upon the people to conserve water, calling it "paras" (the philosopher's stone) that creates new life. As parts of the country pass through the worst-ever water crisis in recent years, he also had three requests for the people.

Madhya Pradesh is staring at an acute water shortage as 65 dams, out of 164 important reservoirs in the state, have almost dried up.

Four years after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the "Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan" with an aim to make India open defecation free by 2019, over 100 students at an all-girls government hostel in Madhya Pradesh are being forced to defecate and bathe in the open. Reason? Scarcity of water, says the warden.

In Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district, clean water is a wishful thinking. The source- a well- has unclean water, not fit for drinking. But the villagers of Jhamtuli have no choice. They have been compelled to drink the water from the well and with no options to purify the water, the villagers are using cloth.

Residents of Madhya Pradesh's Vidisha district, located barely 50 km from capital Bhopal, are grappling with abnormally high temperatures and a severe water crisis this summer.

As of today Malwa is most thirsty region in the country where hundreds of factories are shutting down for lack of water.
