Over the past five days, three minors have died, and 25 others have fallen ill at the Rajkiya Balgriha children's shelter home on Mohan Road, Lucknow, due to suspected groundwater contamination. The facility houses around 170 destitute children aged 10 to 18. The first illness was reported on March 22, with cases rapidly increasing. Authorities suspect a link between the borewell and a nearby septic tank. Water and food samples have been collected for testing, and a new borewell and industrial-grade water purifier are being installed to prevent further health hazards. Investigations are ongoing.
