As many as 554,081 tube wells representing 53.84 per cent of the total 1,028,137 surveyed so far in 61 districts have already been sealed off due to arsenic contamination. Minister for LGRD and Cooperatives Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan said this while replying to a question from Golam M Siraj of BNP from Bogra in the Jatiya Sangsad Tuesday. "The government has undertaken steps to sink arsenic-free tube wells in those areas to supply pure drinking water among the common people," he said. –BSS
