Over 400 fall ill after Suspected contaminated water Incident at Noida Condominium

September 05, 2024

More than 400 residents of Supertech Ecovillage 2 in Greater Noida West, including several children, have fallen ill since Monday morning, reportedly after consuming contaminated water.

The affected individuals have experienced symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, with at least 10 children currently hospitalized, some in critical condition.

Residents of the 12-tower society, which houses approximately 3,500 people, suspect that recent cleaning of the society’s water tanks may have left harmful chemicals behind, leading to the widespread outbreak of illness. The situation prompted the local health department to intervene, setting up a medical camp on Monday evening after nearby pharmacies ran out of essential medicines.

Abhishek Singh, a resident of Tower C4, reported that his two-year-old son was admitted to the ICU at Yatharth Hospital after his condition deteriorated on Tuesday morning. “He was initially taken to the hospital with high fever and nausea, but soon after, he began having seizures and had to be moved to the ICU,” Singh said.

Maldives seeks Indian support to hit 33% renewables by 2028

The Maldives placed India at the centre of its clean energy ambitions and called for stronger regional partnerships to reduce fossil fuel dependence and enhance climate resilience.Addressing the 6th International Energy Conference in New Delhi, Maldives Minister of State for Tourism and Environment Muaviyath Mohamed said, «Unpredictable geopolitical shifts and supply chain vulnerabilities remind us that no country can ensure its energy future in isolation.
