One resident, Raj Kumar, shared that his child experienced severe diarrhea and vomiting, and soon other families reported similar symptoms. This quickly revealed that a large number of residents were affected. Ashish Srivastava, another resident, pointed to the recent cleaning of the water tanks as a potential cause of the problem. A local doctor who has been treating patients from the society confirmed that the illnesses are likely due to infections from the contaminated water.Health officials have already begun investigating the issue. Dr. Sunil Sharma, the Chief Medical Officer of Gautam Buddh Nagar, mentioned that health teams have visited the site to assess the situation and that a report is awaited for further clarity on the number of affected individuals. Eco Village 2, one of the largest housing complexes in Noida Extension with around 20 high-rise towers, continues to grapple with this public health crisis.
