Food
and water is primary need for everyone. Without food one can
survive, but without water it is impossible to live. Patients
of colitis, hepatitis B and other stomach diseases have been
increasing in the state capital due to polluted water. Expert
doctors believe that due to the presence of amoeba and bacteria
in stomach the people are suffering from these diseases. Patients
of throat infection and viral fever have also increased due
to polluted water. The government does not seem serious about
this priority of public. The water experts had earlier drawn
the attention of the government towards pollution of water
sources in the capital. Though the water being supplied is
polluted, 70pc of the ground water is also polluted as revealed
in a report recently. Condition in other cities and villages
of the state is the same. According to experts people suffer
from ulcer due to the presence of amoebae and bacteria in
stomach. Moreover, these bacteria attack brain too. In several
towns and in remote areas water supply is irregular. As it
is not possible to remain thirsty people use whatever water
is available. It is the responsibility of the Municipal Corporation
and the local bodies that they provide safe drinking water.
It is important that water sources and supply sources are
investigated regularly. The government should also think about
taking responsibility to provide safe drinking water. Tendency
of drinking boiled water should be developed among the people.
People should also take necessary precautions at their own
level and save themselves from diseases.
