Water Saleable Item in India?

    For Human beings to live in this world few items are mandatory like oxygen, water and food, everything else comes in the secondary level without whom one can survive so have not much importance, as world is divided into countries and right now there are total 189 to 195 countries as it vary from source to source, So the list can be divided into two parts. It is arranged alphabetically, and contains 203 entries, as of 2010:-
  • The internationally recognized sovereign countries are 193, including all member states of the United Nations plus Vatican City.
  • The other states section lists 10 states which have sovereignty or independence but are not widely recognized diplomatically by other countries.
They are rule/govern by concerned government/ruler through-
  • Democracy
  • Communist
  • Dictatorship
  • Army
  • Dynasty rule
So it is the responsibilities of every countries ruler to make it possible that every citizen of there country gets easily access to all the basic requirements of life, but it’s really shocking to code here that today’s human have made nature’s freely available treasure like oxygen and water as commercial stuff and it is sold on the name of purity. In big cities of India like Delhi because of air pollution pure oxygen disappear from the environment as vehicles are releasing more harmful carbon dioxide which is not good for human lives to inhale, so health conscious spent some times in these commercial places’. Recently story publish in the newspaper that resident of metro are spending money as they spent on food article’s to get water, for their daily requirements. If in a democracy people has to go out on the shop’s to purchase water then how much critical phase of life we are entering it is really unimaginable as normal person during normal days drinks ten to fifteen liters of water. Shocking side of the story is that people have not easy access to their representatives, so that they can tell them their grievances, perhaps media can become tool for them to get rid from the problem of severe shortage of drinking water-
  • Just recently story publish by media that in the capital of state of Maharashtra that is Mumbai water is sold at the ration shop which is really horrible to read and what is the real picture as far water availability in Mumbai area is concern then one has to visit slums of Mumbai, as they are getting not only drinking water but also for bathing and other utility purposes’ by paying money, that is not everything of the story as water price keep on fluctuating with weather and in summer the price is 1 rupees per liter and in winter season price is 0.50 rupees. Commonly known in Mumbai ‘Fugga’ which is non drinkable water and used for other utility of human beings sold at 5 to 10 rupees of thirty liters Can, as against the price of corporation of 1,000 liters at rupees 2.75 paisa. Shops which sold water in slums can be found on the edge of every slum area of Mumbai and they store or refrigerate from the water tank or unofficially sources, then sold it at very high price to the slums resident. Even one government official accepted about the shortage of drinking water supply to these slums and add that they can’t supply water to slums which comes into existence after the year of 1995, and as per rough estimates people reside in the slums have touch the figure of 1.3million,so they have to depend for their water requirements from unofficial sources’, people attached with social organizations treat it as a scam because as per their views if water can be made available to the other residents of Mumbai then it will not make much different if they supply to these slum areas also. It is the responsibilities of the government officials to make it possible that people whether they lives in slum or other area gets basic necessity of life that is water without any problems, and make it possible to have easy access to water before issue catch the eyes of media and become one more reason in the country to be vocal against them.
