There people are seen to be standing in long queues since morning till evening. Due to the long duration of standing under the hot sun, people leave there water pots in queues and wait for their turn.
Water facilities are worst in Balukhali, Tenghali and Zamtoli makeshift camps as well, due to the hilly slopes of the areas.
Although many water pumps were donated by various bodies, but due to the low water level in those slopes, water pumps stops working after a few days of digging.
In different camps of Tenghali area similar queues of water pots are seen as well.
