ELURU (Andhra Pradesh): PJ Colony in Andhra Pradesh's West Godavari district headquarters Eluru bore the brunt of the mysterious illness which shook the state, leaving the colony's residents in a scared state.
As many as 40 people in this working class neighbourhood collapsed due to the mysterious illness. In all, nearly 600 people suffered sudden convulsions from Saturday to Thursday morning, the majority of whom were treated at the government district hospital in Eluru and some at the government hospital in Vijayawada.
"There is a water tank in our colony. Water is supplied from it. The water comes here from PampulaCheruvu and that gets supplied. We are wondering if that was the reason we faced this problem," Manikyam, 40, a resident of the colony, said.
He complained that the municipal water used to look green in colour until four days ago but after this illness now it looks okay. (IANS)
