A cracked sewage pipe in Tura Civil Hospital is making life unbearable for people in the neighbourhood, the A’chik Association for Protection of Environment (AAPE) has said.
The liquid waste has been seeping out of the pipe and flowing onto the footpath that is used by the people of the Rong’ka Chiring neighbourhood, AAPE’s Lawrence A Sangma said. In some cases, the effluent has reached people’s homes. All of this could end up making people sick, which would be ironic given that the source of the waste, the Civil Hospital, is meant to make people well.
