Not used. community is not informed well about the bi-tech well. After repair in February projector program will be held. Due to organic smell at the initial stage of construction in 2012 and not pumping the water the community and the visitors of the mosque never felt encouraged to use the well. We spoke to local young men who were complaining about the quality of water being smelly. They were explained about operation after construction that was done that is it is essential to pump the water at the initial stage to get clear water. Since nobody pumped the stagnant water produced strong organic smell after few days that discouraged the people. In February this well will be cleaned followed by village meeting on maintenance and also projector program has been scheduled.
