Annia village (Amloh), April 29
Thousands of people have started lining up for a bucketful of ‘magic’ water from a hand pump at Annia village in Amloh block of this district.
Terming it a superstition, members of Tarksheel Society have submitted a memorandum to the SDM. Baldev Jalal, a representative of the society, said this water did not have any religious or scientific basis to support the villagers’ claim.
SDM Arvind Gupta said he had asked the sanitation department to get the water samples tested.
XEN Water Supply and Sanitation Jasbir Singh said they had found nothing extraordinary in the water. It is simply potable water, he added.
Krishana, a resident of Bhawanigarh near Patiala, said that she had consumed the water two weeks ago and was relieved of the pain in her ankles.
