Ludhiana: The residents of Chander Nagar are up in arms against the municipal corporation for its failure to provide them clean drinking water. Recently, they had got water samples from their area tested. The report, received on July 30, showed all samples failed the purity test. Through NGO Mahatar Sathi Jagriti Manch, the residents, on Tuesday, complained to the Punjab State Human Rights Commission and the MC commissioner.
They said, “The MC must provide clean drinking water when it is collecting the service charge. As the area is around Buddha Nullah, the water is getting contaminated.”
The samples were taken from the houses of Keemti Rawal and Mukesh Kumar, a government primary school and a handloom store. These were sent to PAU for testing with the help of district health department. The results showed E coli in excess in two samples.
