In separate news, a case of unsafe drinking water has surfaced in several high-rise societies in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. According to the Health Department, 193 out of 502 water samples collected over the past four months failed quality tests. Many residents reportedly fall ill due to the contaminated water but hesitate to raise concerns due to tensions with builders. In response, the Health Department has issued notices to AOA and RWA presidents of affected societies, advising timely chlorination and tank cleaning.

Notable societies where samples failed include Bharat City (Teela Mod), Fortune (Rajnagar Extension), Amrapali (Crossings), Gardenia Geetanjali (Vasundhara), and others. Doctors warn that consumption of such water can lead to illnesses like diarrhoea, typhoid, hepatitis, and kidney issues, especially affecting children and the elderly.

Residents can report issues through the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation’s 311 app or by contacting officials directly. In the meantime, using bottled water is advised where contamination is suspected.
