People run for water !!!

Surviving in heat and dust
with water
Some times there is no electricity too !!!
 
Buying water
In the afternoon water-tankers such as these pull into our farms.

We buy water to irrigate a small patch of our land and also for sanitary purposes such as bathing.

It is expensive. We pay nearly 100 rupees ($2) for about 500 litres of water.

Some 30 people have been reported to have died near Lahore, Punjan, Pakistan due to temperature/heat ranging from 125- 135 F recently. One can imagine the plight of the people when they don't have water and electricity. WAPDA, Pakistan claims its because of kite flying which blows the transmission lines.
......... Is it so, peole ask ?
