Alappuzha: Natives of Purakkad village in Alappuzha district of Kerala are feeling grateful to megastar Mammootty after he came forward to resolve their water scarcity issue.
The people have been facing water scarcity for the past five days after the water authority’s pipe connection got damaged during the works for National Highway Development.
When water shortage became something unbearable in most of the wards, Purakkad panchayat authority approached Alappuzha district collector VR Krishna Teja. Following this, the district collector made arrangements to supply drinking water to all wards in the panchayats.
Mammootty took the initiative to address the issue after coming to know about the problems faced by the poor public.
