QUESTION
Action required to save a well in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh

I need help in raising awareness to save a Govt. owned well - Khasra No. 106/1 located at Ratlam, Viriyakhedi in Madhya Pradesh. I have been campaigning for the welfare of the well over the past two years as people are using the live well as a garbage dump. I have tried to raise the issue with the concerned authorities multiple times to no avail. The dumping of garbage has been stopped but no action taken to clean the well and render it safe for use. The fencing around the well is also damaged and causes accidents to the passer by.

The well is about 60 - 70ft in diameter and would also serve as a good recharge resource for the area also. Kindly advice me regarding what steps that I can take in order to remedy the situation?
