They believe that a bottle of water can cure many complicated diseases. And why not? One Udai Rai, who was suffering from glaucoma, after sprinkling water on his eyes experienced therapeutic effect. Now, he is getting rid of the disease. Another person, Anand, who was down with paralysis, has used this water and started feeling better. This magic water gave Ganesh Bhagat of Gopalganj, Bihar, instant relief from sciatica pain.

A 55-year-old woman Ram Sanehi Devi is distributing this magic water on Tuesdays and Sundays. While people believe that Ram Sanehi Devi is a divine soul, she kept mum on the issue. A large number of youths engaged in managing the affair have set up makeshift camps for those who are fetching up at the village.

So far the district administration has not taken any notice of this cure-all water.

However, SP Kushinagar RK Srivastav has deployed police force to handle the crowd. Some say Ram Sanehi touches the water with her finger and the simple water turns into panacea. People have to wait for six to seven hours for the water. People say Ram Sanehi, wife of Ramanand Kushwaha, is a divine soul, and the tubewell at her residence has the cure-all water. However, Kushwaha was worried about the large number of people who are gathering at his house daily, disturbing their normal life.
