Collector Orders Emergency Measures as Fluorosis and Jaundice Hit Kanigiri Villages

Officials visited some villages because people were getting sick with jaundice and fluorosis, which are diseases caused by dirty water.

The collector saw that even though houses had toilets, some men were still going to the bathroom outside, which made the water dirty.

To fix this, they are bringing safe water in tankers and from a clean source.

They also stopped using water from a well that was making people sick.

The collector reminded everyone to always use toilets and wash their hands to stay healthy.

He also saw students drinking bad water at school and ordered them to get clean water and put up signs.

A new water tank is being built to help provide clean water to more people.
