One more death in Tiruchy city ward, mayor maintains no water contamination
The New Indian Express Tiruchy
|April 24, 2025
HEIGHTENING tensions over water contamination scare, a 75-year-old woman from Ward 10 who was admitted to MGMGH on Tuesday on complaints of severe vomiting and diarrhoea died without responding to treatment on Wednesday.
With this, the number of deaths linked to water contamination scare has risen to four.
While the relatives of the deceased, S Anandhi, alleged consumption of the corporation water supply led to her death, the mayor denied the allegations and said the cause of death appeared to be from kidney-related ailments.
Even as 70 others, many of whom are local residents, continue to be treated at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital (MGMGH) over similar complaints of vomiting and diarrhoea, among others, potable water supply to corporation Wards 8 and 10, which was suspended for three days following the water contamination scare, was restored on Wednesday.

WHEN A CLEAN-UP BECOMES A MESS
A year ago, the idea of a massive nationwide exercise to visit every single household to verify, add, or delete voters was not on anyone’s radar. After all, the Narendra Modi government did not even conduct the mandatory dec-adal census. Chief Election Commi sioner Gyanesh Kumar took charge in February 2025 and, for three months, did not utter the term ‘special intensive revision’ (SIR).
