A video has surfaced of a man damaging the municipal president's office in Ahmedpur town, Latur district of Maharashtra, due to water crisis. In the footage, the individual can be seen breaking chairs and throwing objects around the office. Officials claim the man was intoxicated during the incident. An official complaint was lodged at the Ahmedpur police station, but details on the man's identity and subsequent police action are yet to be disclosed.
In a separate event, villagers from Anandwadi staged a protest by climbing an administrative office building due to water shortage. The protest was called off after the administration promised to address their demands. The state of Maharashtra is grappling with a drought crisis, with 305 talukas declared drought-hit due to insufficient rainfall.
To tackle the water shortage, the Maharashtra government has ordered urban local bodies, including gram panchayats, to enforce a minimum 10% water cut. This measure is being implemented amid concerns over deficient rainfall and the impact of El Niño conditions.
