Sandeep Sharma, Vidisha. The winter season has not even ended yet, before this, a huge amount of filth has accumulated in the Betwa river, the life giver of Vidisha. The filth on the main ghats has become so much that it has become difficult for people to even take bath. There are many villages around the river and farmers irrigate their fields with river water. At the same time, this water quenches the thirst of the people of Staff Dam built on Betwa.
