(New Delhi, March 11, 2011):
Every fifth person in the National Capital is not getting purified drinking WATER, which is what the city's water utility, the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) claims to supply, but a potentially deadly cocktail of disease-carrying germs, a survey by the municipal health department has found.
The findings of the survey, which tested water samples from six hundred locations spread across the Capital, are shocking.
Close to 20 per cent of the samples were found to be unfit for human consumption. And that too, by Indian standards, which are ten times higher than the level considered acceptable in the West.
