At least 55 more residents of Sector 18 took ill, five of them with acute diarrhoea, today. With these fresh cases, the number of residents who have taken ill over the past three days due to contaminated water in Sector 18 has crossed the 450 mark, according to the UT Health Department report. However, the number is likely to be higher as several ailing residents might have approached hospitals or private healthcare professionals individually, said officials of the Health Department.
