There is a stir in the entire state after the deaths due to contaminated water in Bhagirathpura area of ​​Indore in Madhya Pradesh. Meanwhile, a very worrying picture has also emerged from Ratlam. Councilors and local people have opened a front against the supply of dirty and smelly water in Ratlam Municipal Corporation area. It is alleged that about 40 percent of the city’s population is forced to drink contaminated drinking water for a long time.

water with insects has been coming for months

Ward number 24 councilor Salim Bagwan says that dirty, smelly and insect-filled water is coming from the taps in his ward and the surrounding areas. People complained several times to the Municipal Corporation, public hearing and the Chief Minister’s helpline, but the situation remained the same.

Even when distressed citizens approached the authorities with bottles filled with dirty water, no concrete action was taken. Due to this, both anger and fear increased among the people.

The matter reached NGT

Seeing the matter becoming serious, Councilor Salim Bagwan approached the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The councilor alleges that the Municipal Corporation Administration and the Pollution Control Board tried to mislead the NGT by giving wrong information.

On this, NGT has also strongly reprimanded both the institutions. Gardener says that if strict steps are not taken in time, situation like Indore can be created in Ratlam also.

Dilapidated sewerage system became a major reason

According to local people and councilor, the root of the problem is the city’s dilapidated sewerage system and dilapidated drinking water pipeline. At many places, sewerage and water lines are lying side by side. As soon as leakage occurs, dirty water directly mixes with drinking water, due to which the risk of spreading disease has increased.

Former MLA Paras Saklecha’s attack on the government

Former Ratlam MLA Paras Saklecha has also cornered the government on this issue. He alleged that the government is busy protecting its contractors. He says that sewerage work has been done in a poor manner in 24 districts of Madhya Pradesh.

Sewerage and drinking water lines have been laid up and down, and weak pipes have been installed. After some time these pipes burst and dirty sewerage water gets mixed into drinking water. Saklecha warned that if attention is not paid, serious consequences may arise in other districts including Ratlam.

Warning to go to High Court-Supreme Court

Councilor Salim Bagwan has clearly said that he will continue to raise this issue. If necessary, we will go to the High Court and Supreme Court. He says that playing with public health will not be tolerated at any cost and responsible officers and employees will not be spared.

Collector and officials inspected

Seeing the seriousness of the matter, Ratlam Collector Misha Singh, Municipal Corporation Commissioner Anil Bhana, SDM and other officials reached Morvani Filter Plant and inspected the situation. After this, the team reached Khetalpur and Chandni Chowk areas and took stock of the sewerage leakage improvement work.

The administration says that soon the supply of clean water will be ensured by removing the leakages, but the confidence of the local people will return only when concrete work is seen on the ground.

On Sunday, some people of Dhakad community attacked the convoy of Madhya Pradesh Congress President Jeetu Patwari, who came to attend the rally ‘Vote Chor, Gaddi Chip’ of Congress in Ratlam. However, Patwari did not get any injury in this incident. The Congress has directly accused the BJP. He says that BJP is now adopting cowardly tactics.

Show black flags, broke the glass of the car

District Additional Superintendent of Police Rakesh Khakha informed that on the basis of the complaint of Congress leaders, a case has been registered against former Javra district president Ram Vilas Dhakad, Divisional President Ashok Dhakad and some others.

According to officials, the accused showed black flags and broke the glass of a car in the convoy. During this time the atmosphere became tense.

Patwari descended and calmed the atmosphere

Amid the attack, Jeetu Patwari himself got down from the car and tried to calm the crowd. He said that he has not commented against the Dhakad society.

In fact, before this, Patwari addressed a gathering, where he mentioned two people of the Dhakad community. In one case, Manoharlal Dhakad, the national secretary of the Dhakad Mahasabha registered in Ujjain, was caught in an objectionable condition.

The Mahasabha later removed him from the post. At the same time, a few days ago, Devi Lal Dhakad was arrested in Mandsaur for having unnatural sex with an animal.

BJP sponsored hooliganism- Congress

The Congress issued a statement saying, “BJP goons attacked Jeetu Patwari’s convoy.

The party also alleged that Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s government is continuously compromising on Patwari’s security and deliberately putting him in danger.

After the attack, Patwari said, “The BJP government is afraid of the growing public support of the Congress and is adopting such cowardly tactics in the fury.” Addressing the Chief Minister directly, he said, “If he can reduce the drug trade in Madhya Pradesh with my murder, then I accept it. But now I will fight this fight under any circumstances.

Attack on democracy- Congress

The Congress said in its statement that “This is not just an attack on one person but a direct shock on democracy. The state Congress strongly condemns this attack and warns that the BJP’s hooliganism neither is afraid nor the voice of the people can be suppressed.”

The Congress has demanded immediate action against the culprits and warned that if action is not taken, it will further intensify the movement by taking to the streets.

About 10 liters of water in 20 liters of diesel

Investigation revealed that about 10 liters of water came out of the vehicles where 20 liters of diesel was put. Almost this situation was found in all vehicles. A truck driver also filled 200 liters of diesel, which was closed at a short distance.

Rain became the cause or negligence?
Initial investigation by the administration has feared that due to rain, there may be a leakage of water in the diesel tank. However, the questions are also arising that what are the arrangements to check the quality of fuel at the petrol pump and are the common people being given a similar adulterated fuel?

At present, the collector and district administration team has started investigating the entire matter. After the report, strict action has been said against the culprits.
