"A study has proved that in Balotara and Pali the water has so much fluoride that children there are now being born with twisted bones. In Balotara the water is not even fit for bathing," Justice Bhandari said.

A monitoring committee of the high court recently reported that the state government was discharging sewer water without passing it through water treatment plants. IN fact, some of these plants were of low capacity. The single bench of Justice Bhandari noted that the government saved the Jal Mahal water with the help of a treatment plant, but polluted water was still being discharged into the Kanota Dam. Untreated industrial water was also being discharged into a couple of lakes and dams.
