Hi Neelam, Yes I too read the report in a news source, thank you. According to a lab personnel, People who drink this water will suffer from bone-related diseases. Lab tested 604 water samples from the city in 2011 and found 134 unsafe for consumption. Even though the number is not high, it is a matter of concern for residents of Bangalore who are struggling with Bangalore drinking water issues.
