Clean water is not available anywhere in the village and the locals are being forced to consume the dirty floodwater for daily usage.
Sources on the ground said the villagers are tired of carrying bodies for funeral processions. The far flung areas of the village have also been gripped by the gastro disease.
Currently, around 50 people are suffering from the gastro disease. The majority includes children who are being treated in clinics.
The locals of the village are quite poor and do not have the means or money to get themselves treated in urban cities.
