Raipur | Dec 12, 2017:

District-level weekly jan-darshan programme at collectorate, Raipur, had on Monday come across a serious issue of water pollution as residents of Donde Khurd village of Raipur tehsil complained about the same.

The villagers reportedly informed District Collector O P Choudhary that the water in the village has turned very harmful because of illegal mining in surrounding areas. The water is not even potable and it may lead to serious diseases, the villagers complained to the Collector. In reply, the district collector assured the villagers of taking necessary measures in this direction.

It was also decided to hold a public grievance redressal camp at Saankra village of Tilda development block on December 13 to provide them with the benefits of various state government welfare schemes. The District Collector asked the district level officials to be present in the camp and listen to the common public.

Meanwhile, the district collector has directed the rice millers to deposit more boiled rice as the Food Corporation of India will collect boiled rice only, according to a government order.
