Several residents of Supertech Ecovillage 1 in Greater Noida West allegedly fell ill over the past few days after consuming contaminated water. Widespread cases of nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea were reported across the society's 51 towers, affecting around 200 residents. Residents claim that poor maintenance of the water tanks is the likely cause of the outbreak.

"The tanks haven't been cleaned properly for years. At times, we've noticed a foul smell or an odd taste in the water, but no action was taken. 

"The same water is supplied across all societies. If it was contaminated, residents from other areas would also fall ill. However, during inspection, a dead rat was found in one of the water tanks. Samples have been collected from multiple tanks and sent for laboratory testing
