Water is the fundamental needs of every person, clean water (bottled) are available at Rs 20 to 25 per liters in the market. The poor can not afford to buy. The initiative will help keep people healthy, as most diseases are spread through water this summer,” added DSP.

Presently waters at kiosks would be stored in earthen vessels covered with clothes,” he added.
