Pollution from industries turns Kelo river black in Raigarh

Rajesh Tripathi from Raigarh is telling us that industries in the district are dumping so much polluted material in the Kelo river that the river has turned black and many fish have died. He talks to two villagers who tells him that the water is so dirty that you can’t think of even touching it forget about drinking or bathing. They say even cattles are suffering. Rajesh says people have complained to pollution control authorities but there is no action and people are thinking of stopping traffic to protest. Rajesh ji can be reached at 0103570721
