Health Care: Fluoride-hit Nyama Village In Churu Dist Gets Ro Water | Jaipur News
Jaipur: It was a moment of celebration for the Nyama villagers in Churu district on Thursday as they witnessed the reverse osmosis (RO) plant get restarted in their village, which had been lying dysfunctional for two years. The villagers had to drink the groundwater with high content of fluoride, extracted by tubewell, taking a toll on their health.
The TOI had highlighted drinking water issues in Churu villages in a news report, ‘Drinking water crisis in Churu symbolises dry poll promises’ published on October 22.
The groundwater in the village and most parts of the Salasar block is high in fluorides affecting the health of the villagers. “Entire village is celebrating the occasion. The re-start of RO plant after two years has brought happiness in the village,” said Rajendra Kumar, a villager.
The district administration’s team started repairing RO plants from early morning and by evening the taps started gushing out clean water for the villagers. As soon as the taps of the RO plant started gushing out water, the villagers gathered to collect water in bottles, and other containers. The RO plant was installed by the state government in this village of about 4,000 people some four years ago to purify groundwater. The RO plant’s door remains closed, but villagers still collect the water as there is no other drinking water facility in the locality.
In some parts of Churu’s rural areas, the health department encourages the villagers to drink from the tanks in which rainwater is collected but not from the groundwater in areas where it has high content of fluoride.
According to the health department, high content of fluoride in drinking water causes pain in bones and affects the health of teeth.
“In the village, most of the people have pain in bones, for which many of them have to take treatment,” said Kumar, while celebrating the re-start of the RO plant in the village.
