Earlier, Kamla Bai (59), wife of Tulsiram, had also died after consuming contaminated water.

\n\n

She had complained of vomiting and diarrhoea from January 5 - 6. As her condition worsened, she was admitted to MY Hospital on January 7, where she died during treatment on January 9.

Kamla Bai’s husband works as a daily wage labourer. The couple had moved to Bhagirathpura from Jeevan Ki Phel about 20 days earlier.

It is suspected that her health deteriorated after consuming contaminated water in the area.

After her death, the family informed the municipal corporation team and the concerned centre in Bhagirathpura.

However, since her Aadhaar card address was from Jeevan Ki Phel, her death was not officially recorded as caused by contaminated water.
