Is the turning of water in a commodity by big MNC's should be allowed, i.e. shouldn't they be stopped selling water which must made to available in free to all and these compsnies are selling it a very high price.

Air and water are the two basic requirements of all forms of life to sustain. These two are avilable in nature. Though air is still available for free, water is not. Water is sold in bottles at a price more than that of milk. In fact what you suggest is true. Water should be proided free to everybody. But the concept of today is that any thing and every thing should be turned into commodities and marketted. So now water is also a commodity. I am not sure if this can any more be reversed and the free water concept re-introduced. Multy national corporations are installing factories and plants in various third world countries and exploiting water from those countries and selling it to the people at high prices. This is surely a very unhealthy practice.
