We do not get clean drinking water. Leaking and structurally defective
pipelines cause contamination of drinking water, which leads to
diseases.
Identity cards are not provided properly to the people below the
poverty line (BPL). People who are not poor have also received the
BPL cards. Due to this, the poor folks are deprived of facilities
provided by the government.
The environment protection act is only in papers. Government is
not implementing it properly and the funds are being misused.

The Hanumangarh district also has a significant
place in the ancient history. The remains found at Kalibanga [Pilibanga]
in 1951 reveal that this area was a part of nearly 5000 years old
"INDUS VALLEY" civilization. The remains of human skeleton, unknown
scripts, stamps, coins, utensils, jewellary, toys, statues, wells,
bathrooms, fort, streets, markets etc., found in excavation tell
the story of well developed life style of our ancestors. Besides
Kalibanga, more than 100 other places are also there in the district
where evidences of this old civilization have been found. The remains
found at these places have been kept at Museum at Kalibanga and
National museum at Delhi.
Earlier, Hanumangarh was known as "BHATNER". In
year 1805, emperor Soorat Singh of Bikaner captured BHATNER after
defeating Bhatis and as the day of his victory was Tuesday (known
as the day of god "Hanuman"), he named BHATNER as "HANUMANGARH".
