The article from MSN discusses the failure of the Jal Jeevan Mission in Bokakhat, Assam, where despite the initiative's aim to provide safe drinking water to all rural households by 2024, many villagers are still compelled to use water from ponds and streams.

The villagers express frustration over the lack of progress and the apparent misallocation of resources, pointing out that despite the installation of water facilities, they remain largely ineffective.
