Around 30 monkeys were found dead in a water tank in Telangana’s Nalgonda district on Wednesday. Municipal workers pulled out the bodies of monkeys from the water tank near Nagarjuna Sagar under Nandikonda Municipality. The water tank was being used to supply drinking water to about 200 families in Hill Colony and municipal staff had placed metal sheets on top of it. Officials suspect that due to scorching heat, monkeys may have entered the tank through the metal sheets for water but could not come out and drowned.
After the recovery of the dead bodies of such a large number of monkeys, the area’s residents were worried about the impact on their health as they had been consuming the same water. They suspect that monkeys died 10 days ago while the same water was supplied to them for drinking. They demanded action against municipal officials for their negligence. Residents are concerned about the quality of water they have been consuming and fear possible health risks due to the decomposing bodies of monkeys in the water tank.
Local authorities have been urged to take immediate action to address the situation and ensure the safety of the residents. The incident has led to concerns about the lack of proper measures in place to prevent such incidents in the future. The residents are seeking accountability from the municipal officials for their negligence in maintaining the water tank and safeguarding the drinking water supply. The tragic incident has raised questions about the overall sanitation and safety standards in the area, prompting a call for stricter regulations to prevent similar incidents from occurring again.
The discovery of the dead monkeys in the water tank has sparked outrage among the local community, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the incident. The residents are demanding justice for the deceased monkeys and are seeking assurances from the authorities that such a tragedy will not be repeated in the future. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring proper maintenance and oversight of water sources to prevent contamination and protect public health.
