#  300 sickened

 Written on 18 December 2024.

Over 300 people, including children, living in an apartment complex in Kakkanad sought treatment for food poisoning recently, prompting municipal and health authorities to inspect the water sources used by the residents of the flats.

Kerala Health Minister Veena George on Tuesday said that she was informed a day ago by some residents of the apartment complex in Thrikkakara municipality that over the last few days, several hundred people have fallen sick there. "I immediately ordered an inspection of the area by health officials and a medical team from Ernakulam visited the apartment complex and examined all their water sources. They also spoke to residents and took a list of the people who fell sick and sought treatment in private hospitals," she said.~

The minister said that it appears to be a serious issue as there have been instances of water contamination in the recent past in the city and thousands of families are living in the apartment complex.
