Imagine, a 1.5 crore population drinking water testified by those devoid of any expertise in the matter. What is more, they are not even giving training for handling such highly carcinogenic compounds as orthotoludine. According to Delhi Jal Board's chief executive officer, Mr P K Tripathi, out of the 1,300 samples are lifted daily, 300 samples are lifted for "detailed testing" while 1000 samples are lifted from "house to house" "daily" by belders for the testing of residual chlorine.
