He quoted the example of market opposite to highway Petrol Pump in Bali area of Udhampur to support this claim. Shocking is that people of Udhampur town drink the water of River Tawi after it is supplied by PHE supply after filtration but experts claim that still such water can cause waterborne diseases like jaundice, diarrhoea etc. Sources informed that many cases of such ailments have already visited GMC Udhampur. On the condition of anonymity a medico at GMC informed that sewerage mixed water is very dangerous for health and may cause many waterborne deadly diseases. ADC Udhampur when contacted informed that he will personally probe the entire matter and take strict action against the guilty.
