Hey there, folks! It looks like there’s some troubling news coming out of Pune. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has cracked down on private Reverse Osmosis (RO) water projects in the Sinhagad Road areas of Dhayari, Nanded City, and Kirkatwadi due to contamination issues. Yikes!
After tests revealed harmful bacteria in the water supply, 19 out of 30 tested sources failed quality checks. The lack of chlorine in many cases has turned these areas into hotspots for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a serious neurological condition that has already claimed five lives in the region.
Despite the PMC’s efforts to seal these projects, reports suggest that some are still operating illegally. Water is being sold through side taps, water ATMs, and distributed in jars without the corporation’s knowledge. This shady activity is putting residents at risk and undermining public health initiatives.
Authorities are urging these sealed projects to comply with regulations and obtain official clearance before resuming operations. However, the lack of post-sealing inspections has allowed some operators to continue their activities in violation of public health laws.
Residents and local health officials are calling for stricter enforcement and regular inspections to prevent further health risks in the area. The PMC is feeling the pressure to address these violations and protect the public health of Pune residents. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation!
