The children were the most affected…
On Monday, after allegedly consuming contaminated water, 200 residents of a Noida society fell sick.
The residents of Supertech Eco Village 2 experienced symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Mostly children were affected.
"My son came from a coaching institute and complained about the health complications. He vomited twice in the institute. After a while, my younger son, who is aged 8, started complaining of ill health," a resident of the society, which reportedly has more than 50 towers, said.
He added that "I also came back from the office at 9 pm and felt nauseous around 11 pm. All this is happening due to contaminated water."
Another resident said that since Sunday night, children have been sick with symptoms of vomiting and dysentery. They also complained of stomach ache, he said.
"We thought the children must have eaten something outside and this is happening because of that. But when we talked to the people of the society, this number started increasing," he said.
He said the complaints started after a society water tank was cleaned two days ago.
Officials have begun an investigation into the incident.
