Bholakpur-Drinking Water & Death - Two years before & after

[Ramachandraiah Chigurupati]

Dear all,

The urban poor and a large proportion of the lower middle class in cities struggle to get clean drinking water. And a large proportion of them suffer from water contaminated diseases. It’s a scandal and a shame if a number of people die due to polluted water and the powers that be do not get moved. Bholakpur in Hyderabad symbolizes this inequality in water and misgovernance of our cities. A two page note on this -
