KADAMTALA/ AGARTALA June 27 (TIWN): Pure Drinking water scarcity looms large at kadamtala under North Tripura. Most of the villagers have to go far- flung areas to fetch drinking water. Reportedly, for past many days the water supply crossing through Kadamtala H.S. School has broken down resulting dirty water of the drain to penetrate in the pipe-line and unfortunately the students of the school and that area are bound to drink the same contaminated water.

Some cases of water borne diseases have been reported from these areas. Eruption of life disease and diarrhea are most common in remote localities. Most of the areas are totally depended on groundwater and most of the tube wells of these said areas are not working or nonfunctional. 

Several areas of Kadamtala are getting impure and dirty water which is resulting in a large number of people falling sick. In some of the areas the water is so dirty that it cannot be used even for taking bath but the students are bound to use it for drinking and cooking food.

Drinking of contaminated water from the water supply due to drying up of regular water sources, have led to diseases resulting in casualties every year. Drinking of contaminated water from the dirty water supply due to drying up of regular water sources have led to many diseases.

Access to clean and safe drinking water has become scarce in the interior parts of Kadamtala. Even today there are families which simply rely on the contaminated water in the area.

In this golden era of the state where the ruling Government is busy in assuring safe drinking water to the rural population, in the mean time they skipped to notice the unavailability of the safe and clean drinking water in the rural part of Tripura.

Despite of the several tall claims made by the ruling Government over the development of the state saying this is the golden era of the state, the poor scenario of consumption of contaminated water ooze out of the unnoticed interior part of Tripura.

Water is the basic need of every human being. Where a section of urban Tripura has been simply wasting the excess water, on the other hand women and children of the rural areas are mostly affected by the dearth of safe and clean drinking water. Mostly, the children get easily succumb to the water borne diseases resulting Malaria, diarrhea and other diseases.

Now the question arises that where a section of population has been deprived from consumption of clean and safe drinking water and are left to consume the contaminated water of the stream, at the same time how can the ruling Government claim it to be the golden era. 

The problem of dirty water cannot be solved unless the old and worn out pipes are replaced by the authority.
