A train carrying water will leave from Jodhpur Railway station on Thursday to address severe water shortage in drought-hit Pali in Rajasthan.

"Our initial plan was to send two wagons of 50kg each carrying 10 MLD (million litres per day) water on a daily basis. But we have been provided with 30kg wagon only right now so we will be sending these wagons to the drought-hit area," said Neeraj Kumar, Water Engineer Officer.
