Potable water supply by various youth organisations and political party workers has come as a relief for several households in drought-hit villages in Kozhikode. Many volunteers are using their own funds to continue the initiative as several local water sources have dried up.
Free supply of water is under way in several villages in Vadakara, Koyilandy and Thamarassery taluks, which are among the worst affected. Coastal areas in Vadakara and Koyilandy are also being covered. Efforts are also on to increase the frequency of supply and cover more affected areas in these taluks.
