The borewell was sunk ten days ago to tide over the acute water scarcity in the village.
Venkatesh, a leader has alleged that the officers concerned have been dillydallying to fix a pumpset to facilitate drawing water. Repeated requests made to the authorities to fix a pumpset for the newly sunk borewell have went in vain.
There are more than 20 houses in the village and people have to go to Thimmapura, 3 kms away from Karabele, to fetch water.
While the authorities are citing non-availability of funds, public are put to untold hardship. The villagers have sought the intervention of district administration.
