Dr. Sudarshan Sharma
The main challenge we face is of acute shortage of drinking water,
more so during summer. This is a big hurdle we face and we want
the government to urgently attend to it.
People suffer from HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis (TB)
Rising pollution levels has set the alarm bells ringing for the
government to focus.
Infant mortality rate is also high.
