For the past month, the Nal Jal scheme, a government initiative to provide tap water, has been completely non-functional in Ward No. 11 of Nikaspur Panchayat, under the Morwa block of Samastipur district. This disruption has plunged local residents into a severe water crisis, significantly impacting their daily lives.

Villagers report that the lack of water for over a month has severely affected their routine activities. They are forced to fetch water from distant sources for drinking and other household needs, adding to their hardship. Despite numerous complaints lodged with the concerned departmental officials, no concrete action has been taken, nor has a solution been found, even after a month.

Arun Kumar Saxena, the representative of Nikaspur Panchayat's Mukhiya, has accused the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) of gross negligence. He stated that despite repeated notifications, the department has shown no interest in rectifying the issue. Efforts are now being made to escalate the complaint to higher authorities in hopes of a swift resolution to provide water to the villagers.
