Amid a raging controversy over the quality of Delhi’s drinking water, posters have come up at ITO questioning the AAP Government on the high number of diarrhoea and cholera cases registered in the city in the last four years.
According to a Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) report released by Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan on November 16, all water samples collected from Delhi failed a quality test.
Refuting the findings of the report, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is also the chairman of the Delhi Jal Board, has accused Paswan of misleading people on the issue.
“The Delhi Jal Board chairman should answer how 21, 88,253 cases of diarrhea were registered in Delhi in the last four years if the water is clean,” read one of the posters.
