Three die, 35 take ill after drinking ‘contaminated' piped water
Bhadravati: Three persons died, and 35 others admitted to hospital following acute gastroenteritis reportedly caused by consuming contaminated piped drinking water supplied by the gram panchayat at Maidolalu village in Bhadravati taluk.
As many as 38 persons from the village were admitted to McGann hospital, and another private hospital following complaints of vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach ache.
Shivappa (75), and his son Hanumanthappa (35) failed to respond to the treatment and died. Panchaksharappa (64), also breathed his last on Monday morning.
"Consumption of the contaminated piped drinking water is suspected to be the reason for the outbreak of gastroenteritis. The water samples collected from two overhead tanks in the village and the house of the patients have been sent to the laboratory" District Health Officer Hanumanthappa C. told.
He said some of the patients had displayed strong symptoms of cholera too.
