Aiza, Jogulamba Gadwal District – People living in Aiza Municipality are facing a dangerous health situation. For several days, contaminated drinking water has been flowing through their taps, making many residents sick.
The issue started when officials from Mission Bhagiratha, the state’s water supply program, began providing polluted water to homes in multiple wards. Since then, children, adults, and elderly residents have been falling ill with fever, coughs, colds, and allergic reactions. Hospitals in the area are now seeing a spike in patients suffering from waterborne diseases.
Despite the worsening conditions, there has been no visible response from the local officials. Aiza’s Municipal Commissioner and Mission Bhagiratha staff have not visited the affected areas or addressed public complaints. This lack of action has left residents angry and disappointed.
Locals are accusing the municipal authorities of ignoring their basic responsibilities. They claim that instead of checking the situation on the ground, officials are staying in their offices, avoiding public interaction. People are now urging the District Collector to step in, ensure clean water is restored, and take strict disciplinary action against those responsible.
The crisis doesn’t end with water. On the same day, a short spell of rain exposed the town’s poor drainage system. Streets near the new bus stand quickly flooded, with water pooling in front of shops and along main roads. This caused big problems for local businesses, street vendors, and drivers.
Residents voiced their frustration, saying that even a light rain caused chaos. “If a little rain can flood our roads, what kind of development are officials talking about?” one local asked.
Now, the town is dealing with two major issues—unsafe drinking water and a broken drainage system. These problems have sparked public outrage and increased pressure on authorities to act fast.
People in Aiza are demanding more than quick fixes. They want long-term solutions, improved infrastructure, and officials who take public health seriously. Until then, their daily lives remain at risk.
