Dalit woman denied water, husband digs well for her in Maharashtra

A Dalit villager Bapurao Tajne, has dug a well for his family in 40 days, after his wife was denied water by upper caste owner of the well in drought affected region of Maharashtra. While it’s a job of 4 to 5 people, he managed to do it alone. He is a poor labourer of Kalambeshwar village of Washim District in Maharahstra. Presently, the well is 6 ft wide and 15 feet deep and Tajne aims to make it 8 ft wide and 20 feet deep. Film Actor Nana Patekar has also spoken to him over the call and promised to meet him soon.
