The region faces contaminated water
Here are the the impacts of 15 years of quarrying in Anakapalli district:
Quarrying has dried up local streams and borewells across three villages, causing severe water scarcity.
The remaining borewells, even those drilled deep, are yielding contaminated water, forcing villagers to use unsafe sources.
Residents attribute serious health problems directly to consuming this polluted water from the quarrying sites.
Villagers have appealed repeatedly for a mineral water plant and official intervention, but assurances remain unimplemented.
Local leaders threaten to present samples of the polluted water to the District Collector if authorities fail to act.
