Malsinghwala StudyAn extreme case of deprivation and seclusion of the rural community has come forth through the study of Malsinghwala conducted by Janhit Foundation in July 2007. The 150 years old village in Budhlada block of Mansa district, Punjab has been put up for sale by the frustrated villagers following an upgoing trend of unending anguish. The study reveals an elephantine issue of violation of Human Right to safe water. The whole village area is underlain by highly contaminated ground water. Salt, fluoride, chloride, lead and pesticides have been found in excess to the permissible limits specified by Indian Standards. Contaminated ground water in Malsinghwala is playing a leading villainous role by adversely affecting food availability, soil fertility, crop productivity, health of the villagers and their family economics. Alternative sources (Government tank and Boha canal) of water are highly unreliable and inconsistent. If, thirsty and the pots are empty one has to walk down 2 kms to a canal to fetch water, a reality inconceivable. 15 years of unheard appeals by the villagers to the government authorities at last coerced them to unanimously decide on selling off their ancestral homeland. With an objective to bring out a sustainable solution to the problem the organization is keen to send the study report of such an unusual case of violation of human right to water to the Food First Information and Action Network (FIAN), Germany, an International Human Rights organization and concerned government agencies of Punjab, India. The study report will be put up with the media to create mass awareness. Janhit Foundation would even file a PIL with the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh if the need be. |
