Most of the people ignore the hygiene factor. As we live in a country where we have lots of serious problems, hygiene consciousness does not figure prominently in our lives. But our government should take immediate measures to build awareness among general people about good health and hygiene needs. Most of the diseases spread through water. So the authorities have to lay due emphasis on 'safe drinking water'. We see that people drink water on the streets from wherever they can collect it. But they expose themselves to all sorts of maladies in the process.

If the authorities can give assurance of safe drinking water in all public and general places, then we can hope that people will not take water from unhygienic sources.
