The water of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Sarovar in the Simrole village is getting highly polluted due to the release of untreated water by the Mount Everest breweries limited, which manufactures beer, exotic liquor and alcohol.
The other water resources, hand pumps, wells and boring around the pond are also getting polluted due to the polluted pond water and the water from these resources are not fit for drinking.
The villagers complained about the pollution caused by the Mount Everest breweries limited to Mhow SDM office and SDM directed the PHE officers to check the quality of water of the pond.
On checking the water quality many harmful products were found in the water.
The domestic animals of the villagers also drink water of this pond and due to the poisonous water the animals fell sick. The villagers of the Simrole village complained about the pollution to the breweries management but the problem of the pollution remains same.
Mhow Tehsildar Bajrang Bahadur Singh told The Pioneer that villagers have complained against mount Everest breweries limited and I have instructed the PHE officials and received the test report of the water, the water was found polluted and the report has been sent to the SDM and senior officials and they will take appropriate action and if the condition of pollution doesn’t stops the administration will seal the mount Everest breweries limited. The polluted water coming out of the breweries is also resulting in air and land pollution.
