Shivpuri's Dargama Village: The Curse of No Water, A Mystery Unfolds

• Dargama village in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, faces a severe water crisis; borewells yield no water even after thousands of feet of drilling.
• Farmers transport water from 5-7 km away for irrigation, highlighting the extreme scarcity.
• Surprisingly, water is found at the same depth in neighboring villages just beyond Dargama's boundary.
• Village elders attribute the crisis to an ancient curse by an unmarried girl who suffered injustice.
• Recent efforts, including a temple and Bhagwat Katha, have led to some improvement in water supply through government schemes, but the mystery persists.
