People Amazed to see Pink Coloured Drainage Water flowing near Lalbagh
Mangaluru: Citizens of Mangaluru have seen dirty and filthy brown coloured drainage water flowing all these years, but for the FIRST time they are all amazed and surprised to see Pink Coloured drainage water flowing in front of Pabbas Ideal Ice Cream parlour, Lalbagh-Mangaluru- and this water is seen coming from Hat Hill and other areas in that vicinity- and NOT from Pabbas. But everyone is kind of surprised as to how the colour could be so pink. Roopma from MCC Civic Group who had taken photos and videos, and along with his friend have collected samples of the drainage water for a lab test, and the results will be known by tonight or tomorrow. Until then, keep your fingers crossed, and Team Mangalorean will update on this story as soon as we get more information.
Sources reveal that Pink water is likely from potassium permanganate, a chemical used to oxidize iron and manganese. If too much is used your water will turn pink, and if far too much is used it will turn purple. As long as it is still pink it is not a danger to your health. It’s possible the water in our city’s system has become polluted. This sometimes occurs after rains/floods, illegal dumping or a malfunction in the city’s filtration system. If your water smells funny like chemicals, human waste or other foul smells, you need to have the problem looked at immediately. But till we get the lab results, don’t count on this information.
