Mysore/Mysuru: Residents of a Nanjangud village had a providential escape from illness/death as the drinking water meant for villagers that was allegedly mixed with pesticide by miscreants, was discovered in time on Monday.
Pesticides was allegedly mixed with water stored in the 50,000 litre capacity tank at Kurahatti village of Nanjangud taluk late on Sunday night. Without noticing this, the village waterman Mahesh opened the valve to supply water to the villages. But as soon as the water was released from the tank, stench emanated from the water, giving rise to suspicions that the water had been mixed with pesticides.
