In a video shared by news agency ANI on Wednesday, a group of villagers gathered around a nearby well to fetch water. Among them, a woman bravely descended into the well to collect a small quantity of water.

The water source was found to be inadequate and located at a significant depth, making it difficult for people to access. As a result, individuals resorted to not only lowering buckets into the well but also personally descending into it to collect the available water.
