Motor breaks down in hostel, students drinking water from well

Pratapgarh. More than 75 students are studying in the Rana Pooja Boys Hostel run by the Tribal Department in Pipalkhunt subdivision area of Pratapgarh. Here, due to the water motor breaking down for about 2 months, students have to risk their lives by dragging water from a well about 200 meters away with a rope for bathing and drinking.

Students allege that the warden also comes to the hostel once a month. He has appointed one of his favorites to look after him, he too does not stay in the hostel half of the time, due to which an atmosphere of chaos is seen all the time.

. Giving his side in this matter, Superintendent Shantilal Bargot said that water is not coming in the tube well due to the motor getting stuck. Tried to call the jugaad vendor to take him out, but the motor did not come out. We will get water from tanker for some days and during summers we will install another tube well, which will provide relief to the students.
