The villagers are extremely happy after getting water supply in the village.

The villagers including have expressed their gratitude to the authority for providing water supply in the village.

The villagers now use this water for their day to day work.

Where only less than three per cent of water is fresh water, people in region were facing severe water crisis for long.

The dry and dead water resources have led to an acute water scarcity leading to a miserable condition.

For the residents of Ichalal Chara under Kadamtala Block in Bagpasa Assembly constituency, the only source of fetching their drinking water was a dirty brook.

The area of former minister and present MLA Bijita Nath is highly hit with lack of water and water borne diseases.

The habitation of more than 30 families was dependent on this small dirty brook where the water is not at all drinkable until new water connection was provided in the village.
