GREATER NOIDA: After several residents of Supertech Ecovillage 1 in Greater Noida West fell ill over the past few days owing to a suspected waterborne contamination, the health department swung into action and set up a medical camp within the society to test and treat residents, officials informed on Thursday.

Simultaneously, the maintenance team of the housing society has started cleaning water tanks in towers to address potential contamination. Since Wednesday, around 110 residents have undergone checkups at the health camps after they complained of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea earlier this week.

Minor symptoms of stomach infection have been discovered in a few residents who are being administered treatment, said health department officials.
