        Details about the incident remain scanty, but the village, whose population is around 1,600, lies in an area where water resources are SCARCE .Why not provide them with water too instead of making it look like theres favoritism in Play

        We need that more because some of the people are not obeyed the law that they made,other need water but others destruct,to arrest them all is more prefarable
