Siliguri: Residents of Siliguri in West Bengal are facing a lot of problems with water. The water of Mahananda being supplied under Siliguri Municipal Corporation is contaminated and unsuitable for drinking. Teesta water is not available to the people of Siliguri because the repair work of the Teesta River is going on.
That is why Siliguri Municipal Corporation has requested not to drink the water supplied by the corporation. As an alternative, Siliguri Municipal Corporation is purifying the raw water of Mahananda and supplying it to the people of Siliguri.
As seen in the video, the residents of Siliguri are standing in a queue in front of a private drinking water supplier to buy water.
