Greater Noida West: Panic gripped the Ajnara Homes Society in Greater Noida West after 500 people fell ill due to contaminated water. It is being reported that people are falling ill by drinking the supplied water. On Tuesday, the residents of the society got upset and created a ruckus in the maintenance office. They raised slogans against the management. In view of the continuous complaints of the people in the society, the team of Bisrakh CHC inspected here on Tuesday. A health check-up camp was also set up for some time. The camp will be set up again on Wednesday.
More Than 200 Children Fall Ill
The residents of Ajnara Homes Society allege that contaminated water is being supplied for the last four days. People are facing problems like vomiting, stomach ache, diarrhea after using the water. So far more than 500 people have fallen ill. Out of these, more than 200 are children. The management had got the tanks cleaned last year and cleaning work has not been done since then. Due to dirt in the tank, dirty water is coming into people’s homes. Residents allege that this is happening due to the negligence of the maintenance staff. These people are the reason for people falling ill.
