Handpump in my village school not working, we are forced to drink dirty water
My name is Rajesh Baske. I am calling from Potka in East Singhbhum district in Jharkhand. In my village the handpump of the village is not working from last 3-4 months. Children need to go to another handpump a kilometer away after mid day meal. They are forced to cook meal in dirty water from a river. The principal of the schools tells that we have complained to officials but no one is bothered about the problem of the children. For more Rajesh Ji can be reached at 09204258410
