Pure Water Producers call emergency meeting ahead of price increment

Growing up, drinking water was carried in buckets and earthenware pots and served to consumers in cups or in transparent polythene bags in the major cities and towns. It was then an interesting sight watching young, agile women carrying open pans filled with iced water roaming the lorry stations and calling out prospective patrons. In fact, only one or a few steel or plastic cups were used by the drinking water vendors to serve many customers. The health hazards were obvious.

The sachet and packaged water producers have, therefore, become a major source of relief to the people. They provide direct employment for some 100,000 hands who would have otherwise been unemployed, with its negative consequences for the nation.
