The contaminated water supplied to the Commercial Market Satellite Town, is posing health hazards. “Our market is one of the busiest shopping centres of the city, but we are deprived of clean drinking water,” said Faheem Kahn, a shopkeeper. “Many people have fallen ill with diseases like hepatitis, after drinking the water,” said a teacher. The residents of the area said their repeated requests to the authorities to ensure the supply of clean drinking water to the area had been ignored.
They demanded that the authorities concerned take immediate notice of the issue.
