Mumbai: A 45 years old woman died while fetching water in Maharashtra's drought-hit Latur district today. Kevalbai Kamble had been standing in a queue to fetch water from a borewell at Atola village in Chakur tehsil for over two hours when she collapsed, a local police official said.

She was rushed to the government hospital at Latur but was declared dead on admission. In the drought-hit Beed last month, 11-year-old Sachin Kengar died while he was trying to get water from a well near his village.
