Bankura (West Bengal): Shuili Bona village in Saltora block located in West Bengal's Bankura district consisting of nearly 400 Santhals is on the verge of becoming parched due to acute water scarcity.

The severe shortage of drinking water compels the villagers, mostly women to travel up to four kilometres to fetch water from the river. However, with the onset of summer, the water crisis worsens, forcing the villagers to travel even longer distances in search of drinking water. Even though the village has bathrooms, no one uses it due to water scarcity.
