kolkata, April 28 A team from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) today collected water samples from the areas where drinking water has been contaminated after a leak in a drinking water supply pipe.

Wards 71 and 73 were the worst affected with about a dozen people being admitted to the hospital on Sunday. All the patients were discharged later in the day after primary treatment. Though the locals have suspected enteric, hospital reports are awaited. Mayor Bikash Bhattacharya has preferred to call it ‘mild diarrhoea’ instead of enteric.

“It was a case of water contamination due to a leakage in a pipe. Nobody has fallen seriously ill and the leakage was rectified on Sunday itself,” said Ratan Malakar, councillor of Ward 73. KMC Chief Health Officer Debdwaipayan Chattopadhyay said, “Water samples have been collected from the area and we will get them tested. The reports will be available in a day or two.”
