Water pollution: Par panel to summon officials of 6 ministries
New Delhi Terming water pollution as a ‘‘national crisis’’, a Parliamentary committee has decided to summon officials of at least six central ministries to seek their views to find ways to check the problem.
‘‘Since the subject of water is not restricted to only one ministry, we have decided to summon officials of ministries of water resources, agriculture, urban development, panchayati raj, rural development and sanitation and drinking water to find a multi-agency approach to deal with the situation,’’ a member of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee said here.
