Gandhinagar Typhoid Outbreak: Contaminated Water Leads to Over 100 Hospitalizations

Gandhinagar is experiencing a surge in suspected typhoid cases, with over 100 patients, primarily children, hospitalized due to contaminated drinking water from pipeline leakages. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has directed authorities to act on a 'war footing,' ordering immediate pipeline repairs, intensive inspections, and enhanced medical treatment. Health teams are conducting door-to-door surveys, distributing preventive supplies, and providing support for patients and their families. The situation is being closely monitored by state officials.
