JAIPUR: The health department while probing the deaths of five children due to a ‘mysterious’ disease at Phulabai Khera and Beraphali villages in Pindwara block of Sirohi from April 10 to 13 has found well water used by the villagers is of ‘unsatisfactory’ quality.
However, the National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune, which tested water samples collected from the children, said they found no viral or bacterial infections, which the health department officials were suspecting initially.
