Dispute started over donation

According to the information, Rambaran Prajapati and Awadhesh Prajapati's family and other people used village's government hand pump for their daily water needs.

Both the parties-- Rambaran and Awadhesh, used same private motor for the speedy flow of water, however the motor stopped working a few days ago. The families were mulling to collect money and instal a new motor.
