The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued a notice to the Gujarat government regarding a surge in typhoid cases in Gandhinagar, with 70 active cases confirmed. The NHRC cited media reports alleging the outbreak is due to contaminated drinking water from leaks in the newly laid water supply system, causing sewage to mix with potable water. The commission seeks a detailed report within two weeks on patient health status and preventative measures, highlighting potential human rights violations. A pediatric ward has been opened, and local authorities are distributing water purification tablets.
