‘Arsenic-contaminated groundwater affecting health,’ say Patna villagers
“Earlier we held a protest demanding installation of a water treatment plant in Maner but nothing happened. Many villagers suffering from cancer today,” said a villager.
I’ve seen media reports about 73 villages of Maner sub-division complaining of arsenic groundwater. We will conduct an investigation into this and take action against those responsible: SDM Danapur Pradeep Singh
Our govt is addressing this problem with seriousness, and we are working with several institutions including Tata Memorial for the treatment of cancer. We are also giving cancer-related treatment in 6 medical colleges in the state: Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav. (ANI)
