| Voice of Pali : Vishwajeet
We do not get clean drinking water. The chemical wastes from the
industries are let into the Bandi River, polluting it. This is making
the cultivable land barren. Farmers are not able to produce high
yielding crops.
After drinking this contaminated water many people are falling
prey to various dreadful diseases.
