VV-PACS Community Correspondent Asha Devi from Jehanabad district, Bihar reports on absolute lack of safe drinking water provision in Moghal Bigah village. 

The village has no hand pump or a well from where the residents can quench their thirst. 

"If water is made available in this area then around 500 people will benefit from it" says Damiya Devi. 

In spite of speaking to the village head and submitting applications to the Block Development Officer, no concrete action has been taken till now.
The community demands for either a hand pump to be installed or  a well to be dug.

CALL TO ACTION: You can help by calling the Public Health Engineering Department at 09431005197.
