Dibrugarh (Assam): It has been over 70 years of Independence, yet, locals in this Assam village lack a source of clean drinking water, forcing them to use water from a dirty stream in the village.

Hapjan Parbat Tea Estate, which is situated in Dibrugarh district, comes under the constituency of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament (MP) Rameshwar Teli. With a population of around 8000 people, the region has been facing acute water scarcity, forcing its dwellers to drink dirty water and use the same for their household chores as well.
