A human rights and environmentalist organisation yesterday served a legal notice on the government to inform it within 72 hours on what measures have been taken to supply pure drinking water to the people in the city.
Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh (HRPB) sent the notice to the secretary to the LGRD and cooperatives ministry and the chairmen of Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Wasa), Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) and Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institute (BSTI) following a newspaper report claiming that the Dhaka Wasa has been supplying stinky water to the city dwellers.
HRPB president Manzill Murshid sent the notice on behalf of the organisation.
