This continuing flow of water was noticed at the midnight of 26th-27th April, as per the news published in one of the local Hindi dailies today.

The water soon touched the Shiva Temple, which has both historical and religious significance, placed at the center of the puddle.

According to the newspaper, two residents of the area noticed the sound of gushing water coming from the Gangu Kund and soon the information reached nearby residents who rushed in to witness the ‘Miracle’.

However, contrary to the assumption that the flowing water was miracle (or mystery), another resident informed UT that the flow of water was actually meant to go through a pipe that accidently separated from the motor pump and the water, instead of being dispersed outside the pond, remained gushing within the pond itself.
