No Drinking Water Supply in Anaiyur Panchayat for 2 Weeks
Anaiyur panchayat in Madurai district has been without piped drinking water supply for the past two weeks due to a broken pump at the local overhead tank. Residents, mostly daily-wage workers and farmers, are forced to buy water cans at Rs. 50 per can, which is unaffordable for many. The local panchayat has informed TWAD Board but no repair team has been dispatched.

Immediate repair or replacement of the broken pump at Anaiyur overhead tank, followed by installation of a backup pump to prevent future supply disruptions. Most rural overhead tanks in Tamil Nadu have only one pump — installing a standby pump is a low-cost intervention that prevents complete supply failure.
