Yash Garg, Deputy Commissioner Gurgaon, said: “After receiving information on Friday, I asked the Ministry of Health to send a team to the public and assess the situation.
The department has sent an initial report but we are waiting for the test results.” Residents suspect that due to the lack of sewerage tissue , Unprocessed water flows openly perk into the ground, may pollute water or other water sources in the housing complex.
