AGARTALA, Jan 24 (TIWN): Various interior parts of the State are hit with the acute water crisis including safe drinking water.

When the ruling Government of the state, claims about the so-called golden era and the state is developing day by day, people in the interior parts of the state are hit with the scarcity of water.

Detailing about the area it has been further said that an area of Killa Block, Nittya Bazar, Darjeeling Bari, Thelakong and Deowan Bari along with others faces acute access to safe drinking water. Further, during the monsoon season the population of the area suffers from various water borne diseases.

Recently, the interior parts of Sonamura are massively hit with acute water crisis. Moreover, in few areas the supply of water has become difficult due to negligence of operators and some local persons despite both water and machine.

Despite of placing demands for several time, yet today no initiatives has been taken by the departments.

Besides, they also submitted applications several times before the Nagar Panchayat officials, but yet today no initiative has been taken.

There are sections of population which mostly depends on the contaminated water of the stream running through the area somewhere in the far-flung. They take bath, wash their cloths on the stream and unfortunately fetch the same stream water to quench their thrust. Consumption of contaminated water results in increase in water borne disease in the area.

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 gets easily succumb to the water borne diseases resulting Malaria, diarrhea and other diseases.

However, despite of prolonged demand no initiative has been taken by the authority.
