The opposition Congress on Saturday urged the Chhattisgarh Government to identify those responsible for the jaundice outbreak in the State and demanded punishment for them.
Reacting on the statement of Chief Minister Raman Singh that the outbreak took place due to some lapses, State Congress president Bhupesh Baghel and leader of the Opposition TS Singh Deo said, the Government now must identify those who are responsible.When the Chief Minister himself has admitted that there were some lapses, it is time for him to make somebody accountable, the Congress leaders said.
The jaundice which was reported in Raipur, Durg and Jagdalpur has now spread to Tilda and Baloda Bazar areas, the Congress claimed.The Congress leaders said that the BJP Government must admit that it has failed to provide safe drinking water to the people of the State.
