Title: Need to depute a central medical team to visit Andipetti area of Periakulam Parliamentary Constituency in Tamil Nadu to study the diseases prevalent there owing to unsafe drinking water. â Laid.
(PARIYAKULAM) : In my Parliamentary constituency Periakulam No. 25, in Andipetti area of District Theni, Tamil Nadu, the drinking water available there is most unhygienic and unfit for consumption. The quantity of fluoride in the water is very high with the result that the teeth of young people as well as of children get decayed early and the eye sights also become weak thus forcing them use spectacles in early age. Due to bad condition and high quantity of fluoride in the drinking water, the people have to go to hill areas of Varasunadu at a distance of 2-3 Kms. to fetch drinking water causing lot of hardships to them.
I request that the Government send a team of doctors and experts to visit the area and carry out detailed investigation about the disease prevailing there and the Central Government should make special arrangements for providing safe drinking water to the people of the area.
