I was travelling to Jewargi through Bhima river bridge I noticed that The BHIMA river is completely dried,the resident of 'Namma Jewargi' believe that they had never seen such condition of BHIMA over the last century in the history of Jewargi and it was never dried even in the late1972's worst drought.
