Published: Sunday 30 September 2001

The Andhra Pradesh high court has recently directed the state government to ensure protected water supply in the fluorosis-affected areas of Nalgonda district. The bench issued several directions to the state government in response to a public interest litigation filed for seeking the court's intervention to protect the 'right to life' of people in fluorosis-affected areas of the district.
