Advocate Rapolu Bhaskar has submitted a representation to the relevant authorities, urging them to take immediate steps to ensure the provision of pure drinking water to all citizens, particularly in underserved and rural areas. He emphasized that access to clean drinking water is a fundamental human right and critical for public health. Despite various government initiatives, many regions still struggle with water contamination, inadequate infrastructure, and water scarcity. Bhaskar highlighted that waterborne diseases, such as cholera, dysentery, and gastrointestinal issues, continue to be a major health risk, particularly for vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions. He called for urgent action to ensure that safe and potable water is available to every citizen, especially those living in areas where the water supply remains unreliable.

In his representation, Bhaskar proposed several measures to improve the situation. He recommended strengthening and modernizing water purification systems, including the use of advanced filtration technologies such as reverse osmosis and ultraviolet disinfection, to ensure water is thoroughly treated before being distributed. Bhaskar also called for the implementation of regular water quality monitoring programs, ensuring that water sources are consistently tested and treated to meet health standards. Additionally, he urged the government to expand water distribution infrastructure, including new pipelines and storage systems, particularly in rural and remote areas where access to clean water is limited.

Bhaskar also highlighted the importance of water conservation and suggested promoting rainwater harvesting systems at both household and community levels to reduce dependency on over-exploited groundwater sources. To further enhance the reach of safe drinking water, he recommended launching public awareness campaigns focused on water hygiene and sanitation practices, such as boiling or purifying water before consumption. Bhaskar emphasized the need for collaboration with NGOs and the private sector to expedite the implementation of these measures, ensuring efficient resource mobilization and quicker progress.

In conclusion, Bhaskar’s representation strongly advocates for the prioritization of clean drinking water as a public health concern. By implementing these comprehensive measures—strengthening purification systems, improving infrastructure, encouraging conservation, and raising awareness—the government can significantly reduce waterborne diseases and improve the quality of life for all citizens. Bhaskar’s call for action aims to ensure that pure drinking water becomes a universal and sustainable resource, benefiting every citizen, regardless of their location.
