Water Scarcity Ends in Bhojpur Village as 'One House, One Tap' Initiative Delivers Relief

Bhojpur. The long-standing drinking water problem in Bhulke, Ward No. 3 of Ramprasadrai Rural Municipality, has finally ended. Locals, who have suffered from a shortage of drinking water for generations, are now feeling relieved after taps were installed in every house.

Local residents are enthusiastic after drinking water was distributed to 468 houses in the village through the 'One House, One Tap' campaign. With taps reaching every home, the compulsion to carry water for hours has been eliminated.

According to local Kalpana Bhattarai, the perennial problem has been solved with the installation of taps at home. Previously, there was great hardship due to the lack of taps at home; water had to be carried from far away. Now, with water coming directly to the house, it has become much easier.

Another local, Saraswati Bhattarai, reminiscing about the past, said, "We used to carry baskets to fetch water from three taps located away from the house. Now that taps are installed right in the courtyard, sanitation has become easier. We are using the excess water in our vegetable gardens."

According to Ward Chairman Ramu Thapa Magar, tap installation has been completed in all 468 houses across the ward. The 'One House, One Tap' campaign has been successful. Now, locals will not have to suffer from the water problem they faced for years. Along with tap installation, the ward has announced the launch of a 'One House, One Filter' campaign, prioritizing health security. Water filters have also been distributed to every household to prevent waterborne diseases.
