Greater Noida Orders Citywide Water Tests After Delta 1 Illnesses

Officials deny sewage mixing pending lab confirmation, with residents reporting recurring leaks.

Overview

  • Around 30 residents, including children, were examined at a health camp after reporting vomiting, diarrhoea and related symptoms.
  • GNIDA teams repaired a faulty household connection and leaking pipelines, including a dilapidated stretch in Block C, and said post-repair water checks were normal.
  • Authorities collected water samples for laboratory analysis, and results are still pending.
  • GNIDA CEO N G Ravi Kumar directed random testing of water across Greater Noida as a precautionary step.
  • Residents allege repeated pipeline failures and sewer diversions in Delta 1, citing yellow or foul-smelling tap water in recent days.
