A file photo of children receiving treatment in the Encephalitis Ward at the BRD Medical College Hospital in Gorakhpur where over 60 children have died. Photo: PTIFor the last one week, you must have seen images of people sobbing and complaining in newspapers and on television. I heard that the health of the residents of Khatik Pada was deteriorating because they had drunk contaminated water. An investigation revealed that the tank near Sanjay Place from where people drank water contained carcasses of dogs and other animals. Why are we bent upon turning into a republic of noise?
