Jagan examined the kotta  Majeru  village of  Avannigadda constituency, Krishna district ,  himself, to know the conditions of the deaths.  This morning, he came to Vijayawada from Hyderabad,  from there, by road he reached new Majeru.  The pond which was serving water for the  whole village is found contaminated with matters on being investigated. Almost, 18 people died from past  few months, still  the government is not in motion, he fumed.The first death took place in May, said YS Jagan. He expressed concern regarding the continued series since then. YSR Congress leaders visited the village, and provided the information to the authorities. YS Jagan said, four villagers have died in the village within five days. However, he said that the government is no way bothered.  Despite this, the Health minister, or the Chief Minister, did not visit the place, said Jagan. He said, if the investigation has been done long back the facts would have come to light  and many could be saved. If the health camps were organized, then, these many were not expected to be  dead.  The drugs given by the Government doctors are not working and many are dying because of fevers, said Jagan sharing his grief.
