In Sultanpur, a village in northern Kashmir,
numbers of people are falling ill due to water related diseases caused by
drinking filthy water from a wetland, supplied by the Public Health Engineering
department without filtering, as the only filtration plant has gone defunct
since 2007. The village has also reported several deaths and fear that the
number may shoot up unless government intervenes to save their lives. According
to local chemist, most of the villagers are suffering from kidney disease and
liver damage.
