Kumari Selja raises alarm over deteriorating drinking water quality in Haryana, demands immediate government action

Chandigarh, Jan 12 (UNI) General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee and Sirsa MP Kumari Selja has expressed deep concern over the continuously deteriorating quality of drinking water in Haryana and demanded immediate and concrete action from the government.
In a statement, Kumari Selja said that according to reports from different parts of the state, people in many districts, towns, and colonies of Haryana are deprived of clean drinking water even during the harsh winter season and are being forced to consume contaminated water.
She stated that in several areas, water samples have revealed Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), fluoride, nitrate, and other harmful chemical elements far above the prescribed standards. In many places, water with TDS levels ranging from 600 to 1300 is being supplied, posing a serious threat to public health. Drinking water at public places, waterworks, and residential areas is often unfit for consumption, yet the concerned departments appear to be evading responsibility by shifting blame onto one another, she said.
