TWENTY-FIVE more residents from Pallavaram and the Cantonment area have been admitted as inpatients at Chromepet Government Hospital with symptoms including vomiting and diarrhoea, in connection with the suspected drinking water contamination in the area which killed two persons.
Doctors said that even though most had only mild symptoms, they were asked to be monitored at the hospital as a precautionary measure. On Friday, around 30 residents, predominantly from Ward 13 of Tambaram Corporation, sought treatment at Chromepet GH.
