Nautapa
(nine days of scorching heat) has started to show its effect
in the state. In such a tough time problem of drinking water
is the greatest one. Some areas of Bhopal, Rewa, Sagar, Gwalior-Chambal
and other divisions of the state are facing acute shortage
of drinking water. Though it is not a new problem, the same
situation was prevailing in earlier years too. But, its permanent
solution was not sought. Human beings and animals both are
facing same problem due to lack of drinking water. Wherever
water is available in the state, is not clean and safe to
drink. Even groundwater is becoming polluted. With the consumption
of this polluted water people specially children are falling
ill. It is also affecting the animals. Non-availability of
water has created problems for the wild animals. Health is
also related with drinking water. The government should not
only arrange drinking water facilities but should also provide
treatment facilities for the sick. All the departments would
have to work together to seek solution of drinking water problem.
Final responsibility is of government for safe drinking water
and better health facilities. For immediate solution of this
problem commitment is necessary, along with this permanent
solution of this problem should be searched. Solid measures
for water conservation should be implemented.
