Overview
- Greater Noida carried out a second day of random inspections across more than 22 locations on Saturday, with an eight-team drive scheduled to run through January 12.
- On-site readings using TDS, pH and chlorine kits were within acceptable limits so far, while laboratory testing of collected samples is expected to take 10 to 12 days.
- GNIDA earlier set up a high-level technical committee and ordered an urgent audit of pipelines, reservoirs and water ATMs, alongside citywide checks of water and sewer networks.
- Noida Authority formed a special committee to identify leakages and collect samples, and directed completion of the 80 cusec Ganga treated-water project by the end of January.
- The stepped-up reviews follow the Indore contamination that killed more than 15 and sickened over 1,400, with GNIDA reporting no confirmed contamination in Delta 1 despite illness complaints.
