In Aam Olas Ep 51, Yousaf Jan Utmanzai visits Zaga Kalay, Mulagori, where a silent disaster has been unfolding for years—a water crisis that is slowly destroying the health of an entire community.

In a world advancing toward technological breakthroughs, this community is still struggling to secure safe drinking water.


Aam Olas Ep 51

When Water Becomes a Health Hazard

Clean water is a basic human necessity.
In Mulagori, it has become a source of disease.

Residents told Yousaf Jan Utmanzai that the available water is:

  • Unsafe for drinking
  • Causing tooth decay from an early age
  • Linked to bone weakness and stomach illnesses

This is not a temporary shortage.
It is a long-term public health emergency.


Children Losing Teeth Before Adulthood

Local residents shared alarming details.

According to them:

  • Tooth decay begins as early as age 7
  • By 25 to 30 years, many people lose most or all of their teeth
  • Dental problems are widespread and normalized due to a lack of alternatives

The community attributes this to excess fluoride in the water.

They claim:

  • Fluoride levels are around 21%
  • The safe or required level should be far lower

Regardless of exact measurements, the visible health damage is undeniable.


Bone and Stomach Diseases on the Rise

Beyond dental issues, residents report:

  • Bone-related problems, possibly linked to mineral imbalance
  • Calcium deficiency
  • Frequent stomach infections and digestive illnesses

These conditions affect daily life, productivity, and quality of living, especially for children and the elderly.


Two Water Sources, Both Unsafe

The people of Mulagori rely on only two sources of water:

1. Well Water

  • Contains high fluoride levels
  • Causes the most severe health effects

2. River Water

  • Contaminated with waste and pollutants
  • Exposes residents to parasites and infections

With no third option available, families are forced to choose between harmful water sources.


Living With No Choice

Residents explained that many people drink river water despite knowing the risks—simply because there is no alternative.

This is not negligence.
It is desperation.

Without filtration systems, treatment plants, or government intervention, survival becomes a daily gamble.


Absence of Government Response

One of the most painful aspects highlighted in this episode is the lack of official action.

Residents say:

  • Complaints have been made repeatedly
  • Authorities have visited, but no solution has followed
  • The issue remains unresolved year after year

For the people of Mulagori, the government appears distant and silent.


Why This Issue Matters

Water contamination does not make headlines like crime or conflict, but it destroys lives quietly.

Unsafe water leads to:

  • Long-term health damage
  • Increased medical costs
  • Reduced life expectancy
  • Generational suffering

This is not just a local issue.
It is a human rights concern.


Final Reflection: A Crisis That Cannot Be Ignored

Da Mulagori Aafat, The Mulagori Disaster, is not an exaggeration.
It is a reality visible in the faces, teeth, and health of the people.

Aam Olas has raised the issue.
Now it requires:

  • Serious attention
  • Scientific assessment
  • Immediate clean-water solutions

Ignoring this crisis means accepting preventable suffering.

If you have thoughts, suggestions, or expertise related to water safety, share them respectfully in the comments.
Awareness can still lead to action.
