Chhatrapur (Ganjam): Locals living at the Station Road in the district headquarters town have come out with an ingenious way of overcoming the daily fights for drinking water from a lone stand-post in their locality.
The lottery system was a brainchild of the elderly living in the area. Though the idea has brought about a semblance and some peace, the water supply is scarce and infrequent.
“We resorted to a lottery system because of the regular disputes amongst us. This way we at least get a serial number and accordingly fetch water peacefully. However, only the first three winners get a chance to collect water while others in the queue have to return with an empty bucket as the supply stops,” said a woman resident.
