Easy access to drinking water was a dream for the residents of Sundra village in Rajasthan's Barmer district till last week, when water gushed out of a tap built in the middle of a desert, after overcoming numerous obstacles, to ensure supply from a river hundreds of kilometres away.
Even though the tap, set up under the Centre's Jal Jeevan Mission, supplies water to every household for only a couple of hours once a week, villagers claim the facility has put an end to their hardships and alleviated their woes to a large extent.
