The placard has been able to garner a lot of attention with onlookers look at it with all curiosity.
“He is making a valid point here. Pani-puri without the ‘pani’ (water) is like having meat without onions,” remarked a passerby while interacting with Northeast Now.

In the recent past, groundwater in several areas of Guwahati has dried out almost completely with citizens being forced to buy water daily for their everyday chores.
