Not a drop to drink

CHECKOUT - PUSHPA GIRIMAJI Consumers are often victims of poor quality water supplied by civic authorities. Besides water borne diseases, in many districts of the country, consumers suffer the debilitating effects of high levels of toxic heavy metals and even pesticides and other chemicals in water.

Both the orders give directions to the municipal bodies to ensure the safety of water supplied to citizens.
