The applicant, who is a resident of Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, pleaded that they are receiving discoloured, foul-smelling drinking water supplied through the municipal pipeline, resulting in various health issues such as acute gastrointestinal illness and other complications. The applicant pleaded that the residents of Indore in Madhya Pradesh, Gandhinagar in Gujarat, Pune in Maharashtra and Bengaluru in Karnataka were facing similar issues. The applicant alleged that sewage-mixed potable water was being supplied by Municipal Corporations, resulting in water-borne diseases, and relied upon various news reports in support of the plea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The National Green Tribunal (NGT) observed that the application raised a substantial issue relating to compliance with environmental norms.<\/p>\n<h3>Proceedings So Far<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The NGT issued a notice to the respondents concerned to file their response\/reply by way of affidavit. Pending further consideration of the matter, the NGT directed the respondent Municipal Corporations to ensure that clean drinking water is supplied to their residents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thereafter, in a subsequent hearing, the NGT allowed impleadment of the Municipal Corporations concerned as additional respondents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Subsequently, in the last hearing, the applicant submitted that the condition in the States of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat had worsened.
