Diarrhea Outbreak: Vasco Building's Water Suspected

In Vasco, a health concern has arisen at the Prabhu Violetta building in Dabolim, with nearly 149 suspected diarrhea cases reported among its residents. This situation prompted the Mormugao deputy collector to issue directives to relevant authorities on Wednesday, as a potential water contamination is suspected.
