The Association, which has the slogan `Jal Hi Jeevan Hai’ (Water is Life) as its motto, addressed a press conference in city to sensitise the citizens of the state and also bring to the notice of the Government the enormity of the malice plaguing our society which continues to grow at a worrying rate. Senior officials of WBPDWMWA – Mr Sanjib Nag (President), Mr Jitendra Surana (Chairman), Mr Navin Jairamka (Secretary), Mr Sukamal Pal (Ex-President), Mr Sudip Ghosh (Vice-President), Dr Harinder Singh (Law & Media Coordinator) and advocate of the Association – addressed the media.

“To prevent this, it is crucial that every batch of water undergoes thorough sample testing before being dispatched. Additionally, proper labelling is of paramount importance. The water containers should prominently exhibit the ISI, BIS, and FSSAI license details, which serve as indicators of quality and safety,” said Mr. Navin Jairamka
