Mumbai once had thousands of pyaavs offering free drinking water rooted in sewa and daan… today, only 64 remain serving millions 💧 What was once a culture of care has slowly disappeared in the face of urban growth
As heatwaves intensify and access to clean water becomes unequal, the issue is no longer about nostalgia it’s about survival For daily wage workers, commuters, and the vulnerable, free drinking water can be the difference between safety and risk
This isn’t just a policy question it’s a public health necessity Because cities are not just built on infrastructure but on empathy So here’s the question should we bring back pyaavs and make water accessible for all again
