Sewage Found In Greater Noida Water Supply, Over 30 Residents Report Illness After Indore Crisis

Dozens of <span>Greater Noida</span> residents, including children and teenagers aged 12 to 15, have been found suffering from vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, headaches and fever after allegedly consuming water mixed with sewage for the last three days. 

Dr Narayan Kishore, CMS, CHC Kasna, told <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/noida/sewage-in-drinking-water-in-greater-noida-several-fall-ill-with-vomiting-diarrhoea-residents-fear-indore-like-tragedy/articleshow/126404400.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" rel= "noopener nofollow noreferrer" target= "_blank">Times of India</a> that over 30 residents of Sector Delta 1 received treatment for the condition at a medical camp. "Around 30 people visited the doctors, of them five to six were given medicines, while others were advised ORS. The situation is under control, and if required, we will organize another camp," he said.

According to Manoj Choudhary, Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (<span>GNIDA</span>) Assistant Manager (water department), a dilapidated section of a water pipeline in Block C was found leaking and was repaired immediately by January 7 afternoon. He said inspections were also carried out in other parts of the sector, where two additional leaking pipelines were identified and replaced. 

"We checked the quality of water supply post repairs in the evening and found it to be normal," he told TOI. 

Despite claims of repairs, affected residents have revealed that the damaged water pipeline has instead been diverted into a drain and sewage is being mixed into a leaking water supply pipeline that runs through the same channel. 

Deepak Kumar Bhati, convenor of the sector's RWA said, "Instead of repairing the blocked sewer line, it was diverted into a drain. The uncovered manhole allowed dirty water to seep into an old leaking water pipeline, contaminating the drinking supply. How would anyone feel knowing the water they drink and bathe in is mixed with feces?

"We pay our bills yet are forced to use contaminated water."

Pramod Bhati, RWA President of Sector Delta 1, added that this was not the first time residents in the area had fallen ill due to contaminated water. According to the official, the recent incident marks the third time such damage has been reported within a week in the sector that houses around 20,000 people across its six blocks, A to F. 

<h2>What Officials Are Doing To Deal With The Issue?</h2>Officials from the GNIDA and the local health department has begun inspections in the area and sent water samples to nearby laboratories for testing. Choudhary has also urged residents to immediately report any water or sewer leakages, assuring that such complaints would be addressed on priority.

He added that GNIDA teams are working continuously to maintain water supply lines and that proposals are being prepared to replace pipelines in older sectors facing persistent problems.

Moreover, Ravi Kumar, GNIDA CEO NG has ordered random water testing across Greater Noida to prevent similar incidents and ensure the safety of the water supply, according to <a href="https://www.news18.com/cities/noida/several-fall-ill-in-greater-noida-with-diarrhoea-after-suspected-sewage-contamination-in-water-ws-e-9816702.html" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" rel= "noopener nofollow noreferrer" target= "_blank">News18</a>. 

<h2>The Indore Crisis?</h2>Even though residents are being assured by local officials that appropriate steps are being taken to maintain their wellbeing, many remain fearful due to the recent Indore <span>sewage water</span> controversy which has claimed the lives 10 people and left over 1,400 people hospitalized, according to Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava. 

However, locals claim that the outbreak has instead caused the death of 17 residents, including a six-month-child. The situation has also left Parvati Bai, 67, with kidney failure, a brain stroke and <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-news/indore-water-contamination-leaves-a-woman-with-guillain-barr-syndrome-what-is-it-article-153403843" data-type="tilCustomLink">symptoms of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, or GBS</a>. 

GBS is a rare condition where your immune system attacks the nervous system and can cause paralysis as well as death, in certain cases.

The outbreak occurred due to lapses in civic infrastructure. Investigation revealed that a toilet constructed directly above a main drinking pipeline near a police outpost, without a mandatory safety tank resulted in the sewage mixing with drinking water.
