HYDERABAD, May 2: Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal MNA Sahibzada Abul Khair Mohammad Zubair has condemned the supply of contaminated water to citizens of Hyderabad which has resulted in the breaking out of waterborne diseases.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the MNA said while patients, particularly children, are being admitted to hospitals the government officials enjoy air-conditioned atmosphere in their rooms.

He said despite assurances to supply filtered water, people are getting the polluted one resulting in stomach diseases among the residents.
