Greater Noida Residents Fall Ill as GNIDA Fixes Leaks and Orders Random Water Tests

Residents question water safety despite official repairs, with lab results pending.

Overview

  • Roughly 30 people in Sector Delta 1 reported vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pain over the past three days, with mostly mild cases seen at a local medical camp.
  • GNIDA teams repaired a leaking section in Block C and replaced two additional faulty pipelines elsewhere in the sector, then described post-repair water checks as normal.
  • The authority said it found no evidence of sewage mixing in the supply, collected samples for laboratory analysis, and directed random water testing across Greater Noida.
  • Residents allege sewage entered the drinking line after blocked sewers were diverted into a drain that also carries an aged, leaking water pipe, citing yellow water at some homes.
  • RWA leaders point to repeated recent pipeline failures and press for replacement of old infrastructure, voicing fears of a serious contamination incident.
