A West Bengal Member of Parliament has appealed to the United Nations for assistance in tackling a severe drinking‑water shortage affecting a residential colony in Kolkata.
The elected representative from West Bengal has formally requested United Nations intervention after residents of a Kolkata colony reported an acute shortage of safe drinking water.
The colony's households are reportedly forced to rely on untreated sources, raising concerns over potential health hazards and daily inconvenience for thousands of families.
The MP urged the UN to assess the situation and facilitate remedial measures, while local authorities have been asked to provide immediate relief and a long‑term water supply solution.
