per patient per day worked out to 44685 litres and with the storage capacity of 50000 litres of the overhead tank filled thrice a day appeared to be more than adequate. However, it was difficult to say that the water was potable because samples of water supplied in the hospital had never been sent to an approved PH laboratory. Institute of Mental Health and Hospital (IMHH), Agra (28th March to 30th March, 2011) IMHH had made adequate arrangement for storage and distribution of water. A new overhead tank of 450 kilo litre capacity had been functioning since 2010. The overhead tank had been connected to the sub tanks to ensure adequate flow of water to the wards, kitchen, laundry etc. for drinking, cleaning, washing and flushing the toilets. The overhead storage tanks were cleaned regularly. An incinerator and computerized auto clave had been commissioned for discharge of biochemical waste as per WHO norms. The water samples drawn once in 6 months had been sent for testing in an approved PH laboratory to ensure that the water stored and distributed conforms to the scientific parameters. The Reverse Osmosis is the latest technique by which drinking water is effectively filtered to purge it substantially of all bacteriological and chemical impurities. The RO Plant of the hospital had a capacity of filtering 1000 litres of water per hour. It was functioning for 8 hours daily to provide portable water to the patients. Filtered water was taken out in large storage containers and supplied to different wards and departments. Institute of Psychiatry (IOP), Kolkata (27th November, 2010) The water was available in adequate quantity but it was not possible to certify its portability as samples of water were not drawn and sent at regular intervals to public health laboratories for testing that the water was free from bacteriological and chemical impurities; excess of iron, sodium, sulphur, magnesium, calcium and floride. iii) Right to Personal Hygiene Environmental Sanitation Right to Personal Hygiene means provision of mechanized laundry facilities for cleaning and pressing of clothing; collection of clothing at 8 AM and delivery after washing and pressing on the same day at 5 PM; supply of hot water for bath of inmates in winter; supply of hair oil/shampoo/soap in adequate quantity to inmates; proper arrangement for haircut; changing bed-sheet, pillow cover, linen at appropriate intervals; provision of anti - lice, anti - bug, anti malaria measures etc.; adequate toilet facilities; clean and hygienic kitchen; cleaning and disinfection of floors, pantry, dining hall, dining tables and toilets; diesel smoke through a fogging machine and preventing water logging. . 88 National Human Rights Commission
