Inquire about the methodology for selecting 'Valued Components' (VCs) related to community health, and recommend the inclusion of 'Private Well Water Security' as a specific indicator for residents in unorganized territories.
Strategic Rationale
Residents in Melgund rely on private groundwater sources; ensuring this is a formal VC guarantees that the impact assessment must specifically address the safety of our primary drinking water supply.
