Hansal Mehta slams Mumbai government over unsafe drinking water as he contracts stomach infection

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta took to Twitter on July 13 after he contracted stomach infection and blamed the Mumbai government for providing unsafe drinking water to citizens.

He mentioned that his doctor has been dealing with similar cases over the last few days and the infection seems to be from a bug originating in our drinking water.

He tagged BMC, CM Ekanth Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis among others.

'I developed a terrible stomach infection this morning. It hit me before I’d even eaten. Spoke to my family doctor and he said that he is seeing at least 10 patients with similar symptoms every day and some have been hospitalised. The infections seem to be from a bug originating in our drinking water,' he tweeted.

Hansal Mehta also criticised the governmentfor crippling traffic, lack of readiness for flooding and crumbling state of infrastruture.

'It is ridiculous that a city that is financial capital to the country and capital to a state with two deputy CMs cannot provide basic clean drinking water to its citizens. Not to mention the abysmal roads, the crippling traffic, the lack of readiness for flooding and crumbling state of our infrastructure. THIS IS MUMBAI. And it is run by people who just don’t give a damn about its citizens. All they care for is power and filling their own coffers. Shameful state of affairs. @mybmc @mieknathshinde @Dev_Fadnavis @AjitPawarSpeaks @AUThackeray,' he added.

Hansal Mehta's last venture was 'Scoop'.

His upcoming yet-to-be-titled film stars Kareena Kapoor and has been shot in the UK.

Kareena reportedly plays a mother and detective who has to look into a murder in a small town in Buckinghamshire, inspired by Kate Winslet's 'Mare of Easttown'.

The film likely to come out later this year.
