Greater Noida Residents Fall Ill from Contaminated Water
In Greater Noida, many people in the Alpha 2 and Delta 1 areas are sick because the water from their taps is dirty and smells bad.
They say the water is making them throw up and gives them stomach aches.
The leaders of the neighborhood think old and broken pipes are mixing dirty water with the clean water.
The government says they are checking the water and have set up places for doctors to help the sick people.
Some people are so scared of the water that they won't even use it for bathing and only drink water that has been cleaned by special machines.
This has been happening for about a week, and it's not the first time this has happened in these areas.
Residents in Alpha 2 and Delta 1 sectors of Greater Noida report illnesses from contaminated water supply.
Symptoms include vomiting, stomach ache, and other water-linked ailments.
Around 30,000 to 35,000 residents are affected in the Alpha 2 sector alone.
Residents allege damaged pipelines are mixing sewage with drinking water.
Government officials have collected water samples for testing and organized medical camps.
