हुतात्मा चौकामधील बारा गडगड्याची विहीरप्रसिद्ध होती। मी कधी पाहिली नाही। मला आठवते, कांही वर्षांपूर्वी या विहिरीचा जीर्णोद्धार करण्यासाठी खोदकाम सुरु करण्यात आले होते। परंतु, अचानक ते काम थांबविण्यात आले। आता नूतनीकरण करून बारा गडगडे बसविले आहेत हे छान झाले। धन्यवाद!
The well is already rejuvenated and working
