Over 200 fall ill from contaminated water at Greater Noida housing society

Over 200 residents of Supertech Eco Village 2 in Greater Noida West fell ill on Monday after consuming contaminated water, with children being the most affected, according to a report by the Times of India.

The health crisis emerged when residents from four towers – C-4, C-5, C-6, and C-7 – reported severe illness. These 20-storey buildings, housing over 160 flats, are suspected to have been contaminated due to inadequate cleaning of the society's water tanks last week. Residents believe that the cleaning process, which took place over three days, left harmful residues in the water supply.

The situation has been particularly dire for children. Abhiram Singh, a local resident, told the Times of India that his three-year-old son developed diarrhoea, fever, and vomiting on Monday morning and is currently receiving treatment at Surbhi Hospital in Noida.
