The court ordered the committee of four formed to test the water to report by Jul 2. The water samples should be tested at ICDDRB, Bureau of Research, Testing and Consultation in BUET and in the lab of the Department of Microbiology in Dhaka University, said the court. It ordered Dhaka WASA to pay Tk 170,000 for the tests as each sample test will cost Tk 5,000. At least Tk 7.5 million will be needed to run a test collecting 355 water samples from 10 zones, Dhaka WASA had said that day. The High Court then ordered Dr Sabita to give her opinion on the issue of cost reduction for the test.
