More than 2,000 people have been reported to be suffering from Hepatitis C in a village in Shamli district due to contamination in the groundwater. A lake in the Maamour village in Shamli district has subjected the people to slow poisoning since Kairana's effluent is directed towards this water body. The contamination has adversely affected the groundwater too, and the Maamour village (population of 2,500) is the worst affected.
