I know that all of you have been worried about two nuclear neighbours going into Mutually Agreed Destruction mode.
Out here, I have had other petty troubles. Since January 24, we have received water for only 3-4 days, that is, about 2500 liters in 38 days.
On February 7, I sent my last and final prayer to the Chief Minister (cc'ed MLA, MP and Collector). I told them that the Water Authority had thought of installing a valve but were scared of hooligans in the area who would violently oppose any reduction in their water supply (they need more than 1000 liters a day).
On February 26, a valve was installed and kept in a semi-open state. And as a result of that, we got about 600 liters of water in 2 days (that is included in the 2500 liters in 38 days). The hooligans tried to block on February 25 and 26.
The hooligans did another surgical strike.
On March 2, the valve was opened totally, and everyone is back to square one.
Please note: only Indians are involved in this MAD neighbourly play.
