Kalaburgi: When the entire state is reeling under acute water shortage, a man from this village provides drinking water to his fellow villagers for free.
Asad Ali Ansari, in Nandur(K) village on the outskirts of Kalaburgi city is the man who has shown his richness of heart through his act.
In the village, water sources have been drying up. Following water crisis, Asad came forward to help the villagers by providing them four tankers of water every day.
Asad’s initiative was inaugurated by the Zilla panchayat CEO Anirudh Sravan few days ago.
Sravan hailing Asad for his kindness, said that people should come forward voluntarily to share water in situations like this. Gram panchayats too must provide work to farmers by resuming works under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. Works such as rejuvenation of water bodies, removal of silt from tanks, etc. will help recharge the groundwater table, he said.
