DROUGHT IN WEST, FLOODS IN EAST

Women fetch water (above) from a well that was refilled by the authorities with the help of a watertanker at Nandgaon village in Thane district on Maharashtra on Friday. Almost all water sources in the region have dried up and ground water levels have gone down owing to the summer season.
