The Congress on Monday slammed the Mahayuti government over the severe water crisis in Nashik district of Maharashtra which has forced women to risk their lives to fetch water from dried wells, reported the PTI.

Maharashtra Congress chief Harshvardhan Sapkal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised clean tap water to every home in the country by 2024 under the Jal Jeevan Mission. However, the 'Har Ghar Nal, Har Nal Jal' appeared only on posters, while the reality in many villages is dire.
