Besides, recently the tribal villagers in the rural areas are witnessed to be suffering from water borne diseases, with collecting of water from nearby polluted rivers, small brooks and streams, small fountains and other minor water bodies that consist of major pollutants.
Day after day the habitants of these areas are collecting water from small streams and brook for drinking as well as cooking purpose. All together there are 110 to 120 families are residing in the area and the only source of their drinking water is from the small stream which carries along the pollutants dust in the water resulting water borne diseases among the public.
The people of these rural areas doesn’t have access to any source of drinking water including ring wells, Mark II deep tube wells and other water bodies, other than polluted rivers and water bodies consisting of major pollutants.
