Dirty Water Crisis in Shehzadpur: 'Har Ghar Nal' Scheme Fails, Villagers Fear Epidemic

• For four days, 15,000 residents of Shehzadpur village, Kaushambi, are receiving black, foul-smelling water from their taps instead of clean drinking water.
• The 'Har Ghar Nal Se Jal' scheme, intended to provide clean water, is now delivering contaminated water, raising questions about its implementation.
• Villagers suspect a damaged pipeline connected to a drain is causing the contamination, but no Water Corporation official has inspected the site.
• Residents are forced to seek water from distant handpumps, private borewells, or buy RO water, severely impacting women, children, and the elderly.
• Fearing deadly diseases like cholera, typhoid, and jaundice, and recalling a similar incident in Indore, villagers threaten protest if the issue is not resolved.

Why It Matters: Shehzadpur faces a severe dirty water crisis, questioning the 'Har Ghar Nal' scheme and threatening public health.
