Dirty water can also be the reason
Dirty water can also be the reason for so many people falling ill in Gaura village. There are many factories near the village, from which the dirty water keeps coming out. It is feared that this water has seeped through the hand pump and reached the feast house. People can get sick if this water is used for cooking. A water test can reveal the real reason.
team of doctors sent to the village
Those who ate chickpeas and rice have become ill. This means that there must have been a fault in it. A sample of chickpea-rice will be sent and tested. A team of doctors was also sent to the village.
