Swadesh Nagar residents get Dirty Water through pipeline
N & M Correspondent
Billyground, Apr 29: The PRI members and villagers of Swadeshnagar have alleged that the many parts of Swadesh Nagar Area are getting dirty and foul smelling water through pipelines. “Water we are getting through pipelines is undrinkable. Many of us are suffering from stomach infections just because of this dirty water,” complained one villager.
When Andaman Sheekha team enquired into the matter, it was learnt that drinking water is supplied to many parts of Swadeshnagar from a ring well of Pitchernagar, near the house of one Mr. S Gharami.
Upon inspection it was found that the said well is almost half full with dirty rotten leaves, which has made the water totally unfit for drinking.
“It seems that the APWD has not cleaned the ring well since ages. If the well is not cleaned immediately, many more people will fall sick,” said a PRI member of Swadesh Nagar.
The photographs available with Andamna Sheekha proves that how dirty the said ring well is. The photographs also suggest that the ring well was not cleaned since a long time by APWD. It seems that APWD officials are waiting for a big disaster before cleaning the said ring well.
