Parched Shivalik Hills: Local Heroes Battle To Save Wildlife Amidst Severe Water Crisis

The Shivalik Hills in Mohali, North India, once a lush and vibrant haven for diverse flora and fauna, are now parched and dry due to a crippling water shortage. This drought has turned once vital watering holes into mere mud puddles, leading to a devastating impact on local wildlife, including elephants and tigers. The usual symphony of birdsong has been replaced by an eerie silence, as the region faces an unprecedented catastrophe. Despite facing their own water challenges, local villagers, particularly a group of young boys, are making heroic efforts to sustain the wildlife. These young heroes are transporting 20,000 litres of water to the drying watering holes, racing against time to save the animals that share their home.
