A 'water train' with 10 wagons carrying water for parched Latur in Marathwada region, which is battling the worst drought ever, on Monday reached Latur from Miraj in western Maharashtra.

The railway wagons meant for supplying water to Latur had reached Miraj from Kota in Rajasthan on Sunday. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had said on Sunday that Maharashtra government and Railway Ministry were working hard to bring relief to people in drought affected region.

Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu had said, "50 Tank Wagons steam cleaned reached Miraj for Latur."

On April 8, one of two goods trains carrying 50 wagons of water for drought-affected areas of Latur departed from Kota workshop for Miraj in Pune division.

The second goods train consisting of 50 wagons is expected to be ready for water loading around April 15, a Railway official earlier said.

"As per instructions from the Ministry of Railways, Kota workshop received two goods trains consisting of 50 tank wagons each for deployment in drought-affected areas of
Latur during the summer season and the trips of the trains will be arranged as per the requirement," he said.

The carrying capacity of these wagons is 54,000 litres of waters per wagon.

Good news. Seeing this in news channels. In that area only drinking water is not available or usage water also not available :huh
 
We facing drinking water in our village for nearly ten years. We have not getting drinking water in street pipes nearly ten years. After the rain last year our village lake is filled and ground level water is also increased but still we face lack of drinking water in street pipes because of poor management from village panchayat.

Our MLA is roaming in news channels like puthiyathalaimurai,thanthi tv. I never seen him in our village in these five years :angry
