New Delhi, Jan 2 (UNI) The Aam Aadmi Party on Friday said that Delhities should remain vigilant about the water supplied to their homes, otherwise Indore-type incident could take place in the Capital.
In Indore at least 10 people have died after drinking contaminated water.
AAP national media in-charge Anurag Dhanda stated, “In Indore city, the MP, MLA and councillors are from the BJP, the Municipal Corporation, the Commissioner and the state government are all led by the BJP. Despite having so many engines of power, people died after drinking contaminated water, and hundreds are still ill, and the number of patients may rise further.”
Drawing attention to the situation in the national Capital, AAP leader Anurag Dhanda said the people of Delhi need to be extremely cautious about the water supplied to their homes, because the kind of crisis people face in Indore due to the government’s negligence can happen in any other city.
“At present, in all major cities, whether Mumbai or Delhi, the BJP is in power. The kind of negligence they displayed has already been seen in Madhya Pradesh. There must certainly be a central agency that can examine drinking water and sewage systems in all these places, so that such a tragedy or accident does not occur in other cities,” Dhanda said.
AAP’s chief spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar stated, “For nearly two years, people of that ward had been complaining that the water was poisonous and that sewage water was mixed with drinking water. People also said there was acid in the water. Written complaints were submitted stating that the water was poisonous, yet no one woke up.”
