Mount Abu town, a favorite place of Gujarati tourists is observing one day strike today to please the rain God. The people of the town are spending a day outside the town in forest to pray ‘Varun’ God for sufficient rainfall soon. Religious events such as Puja, Path and Havan are also organized.

Mount Abu gets 45 minute water supply every third day at present. Both Nakhi lake and Lodara dams from where the water is supplied are rapidly running out of water. Thousands of visitors face tough time due to water shortage. Each water tanker brought from Abu road costs about 800 Rs which is creating burden on the budget of the hotels in Mount Abu.
