Rangat, Aug 5: APWD in Rangat has constructed a Ring Well under the Rangat Nalah Bridge at Rangat to supply clean water to the surrounding areas. The water from the Ring well is pumped to the filtering bed after which it is supplied to the surrounding areas.
According to reports from that well water is supplied to Sitapur, Sabri, Mithila, Dashratpur area and the water remains clean during the summer season but during the rainy season when Rangat Nalah is flooded, dirty and muddy water enter inside the Ring well.
According to villagers during rainy days they get remains of mosses and dirt in the water despite of the fact that the water passes through filtering bed before supply.
The villagers from all the areas to which the ring well water is supplied are facing the same problem and according to reports some of the villagers even got sick because of the unhygienic water supplied by the APWD.
Regarding this the General Public have already registered their complaint with the EE APWD of the area but did not get any suitable help from him and the unhygienic condition of the water remained the same.
As per reports angry villagers also gave a letter of representation to the Chief Engineer, APWD which also fetched them no good results. The Citizen Forum of Human Rights has been actively working with the people of the area to get their problem solved but till now they are also unable to bring any relief.
When Andaman Sheekha contacted Mr. Gour Majumdar, Pradhan, Dashratpur, he informed that two residents of the area had already met the LG during his visit to Rangat and explained him the problem. “Villagers are now waiting for some action atleast from the side of Lt. Governor,” he added.
