He said the major source of water in the community is a shallow pond laying down closer to the village cemetery. He said when it rains, all kinds of felt including rotten remains from the near by cemetery are wash into the pond they drink in causing all kinds of sickness in the Miawani community.
According to them, all efforts have been made to get help from government but it's failed.
