Amid the gram sabha, the villagers talked about the upsides and downsides of the task and chose to restrict it.

"This venture is a trick as 28,000 sq m of land which costs around Rs 75 crore will be given over to the inn administration free-of-cost for long haul rent," said de Sa.

He said that if the administration shuts down the borewell, at that point the spring will be normally revived.
