Chhattarpur (Madhya Pradesh), May 28 : Water has becomes a saleable commodity in the drought hit Chhatarpur District in Madhya Pradesh, as the poverty-ridden people of the region are compelled to purchase it to quench their thirst.
The taps are running dry in Chhatarpur and people are managing their water requirements by buying water.
For a single trip, the water tanker charges 300 rupees and not many can afford to buy water at this cost. Those who are unable to pay, have to travel for over five kilometers to fetch water.
