Myagdi: About 400 families of ward nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Pulachaur VDC are facing drinking water problem for the past two months due to lack of water source nearby and long dry-spell this year. The locals are compelled to walk for three hours to fetch a gagri (water vessel) of water from the water source 6 km away.

A local youth Gajendra Shrestha told that the residents of Pulachaur are facing drinking water problem after the locals near the water source used the water to irrigate their fields.
