Over 150 residents of Ankur Village, situated on the Mathura-Vrindavan road, have been hospitalised for vomiting and showing symptoms of diarrhoea.

"Water being supplied to the village passes a cow ranch and due to breakage in the pipeline, the water got polluted with accumalated dung waste," Singh said.
