Suspected Jaundice Outbreak in Ferozepur Village Linked to Contaminated Water Supply

A suspected jaundice outbreak in Ferozepur's Hazra Singh Wala village has affected mostly children, with at least 15 cases reported and one death of a 12-year-old girl. Investigations revealed contamination in the village's drinking water, including dead pigeons and rodent droppings in a water tank, and widespread water quality failures. Villagers allege decades of neglected infrastructure, including a corroded pipeline causing sewage seepage. Authorities have initiated health monitoring, medical care, and a magisterial probe, while residents demand compensation and urgent water system repairs.
