The Nal-Jal scheme in Babhandih is facing significant challenges as it operates without an essential overhead water tank. This critical omission means that water supply immediately ceases whenever there is a power outage, causing immense hardship for the villagers. Residents have repeatedly complained about this issue and are demanding the swift construction of an overhead tank to ensure a continuous water supply.

Local residents state that the government's ambitious scheme, designed to provide clean drinking water to every household, has deviated from its core objective in Babhandih. Without a tank, water is directly pumped to homes. While supply is maintained as long as there is electricity, it stops completely during power cuts. This situation becomes particularly dire during the summer months when water demand is at its peak.

Villagers have appealed to concerned officials and public representatives multiple times to resolve the problem, but their pleas have yet to receive concrete action. They argue that an overhead tank should have been provisioned during the scheme's initial construction. They are now urging for the immediate construction of the tank so that they can truly benefit from the Nal-Jal scheme and not be dependent on electricity for their water needs. The lack of resolution has led to considerable frustration among the community.
