Kaushambi's Kashiram Colony Faces Severe Water Crisis for 6 Years

• Residents of Kashiram Colony in Kaushambi district, Uttar Pradesh, are struggling with a severe drinking water crisis for the past 6 years.
• The colony's water tank has been out of order for approximately 6 years, and despite complaints, no repairs have been made.
• Only five handpumps serve thousands of residents, and none are fully functional, leading to long queues for water.
• The 'Har Ghar Nal Yojana' remains inactive, and a borehole drilled three years ago near the tank has not yet started supplying water.
• The water shortage disproportionately affects women, the elderly, and children, impacting daily life and education.
