Manikyam believes that it was water which caused this illness.
He cited the cases of a few neighbours who just collapsed.
Sattibabu, 45, Manikyam s neighbour, said leaders and officials should come to check the quality of the water in canals and pipelines at regular intervals but it is never done. Will anybody do these things when a person like me asks? This problem has occured because of municipal water, he complained.
Sattibabu questioned the wisdom of attending to a problem after allowing it to crop up. They should be saved before falling sick. Just imagine how people are living amid the coronavirus. Even during coronavirus no leader came and spoke to us or asked us whether we had food, said Sattibabu.
