Another civilian died in Karachi on June 28 from Nigeria Fowler. The investigation revealed that boring (underground) water was used in the house of Faizan Rasool Ghauri, a resident of Abul Hassan Isfahani Road.
Faizan Rasool Ghauri died at a private hospital in Gulshan-e-Iqbal on June 28. This was the third death from Nigeria Fowler in Karachi in 45 days, forcing the Sindh Health Department to investigate the case.
Teams from the Sindh Health Department and the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board arrived at Faizan Ghauri's home to investigate how the Negleria fowler entered his body. They were shocked to see that the victim and his family use groundwater in the house.
Faizan's brother-in-law Hasban Khan told SAMAA Digital that teams from the Sindh Health Department and KWSB visited Ghauri's house yesterday and asked him about the sources of water used in the house, to which the family replied. They do not get water from Karachi Water and Sewerage Board lines and they use underground water.
Hasban added that the teams also inquired about Ghauri's daily routine. They were told that Faizan was a very religious man and a five-time worshiper. Authorities were told that Ghauri performed ablutions at home and sometimes at his home and sometimes at a shop. He used to go to the mosque for Friday prayers, but it was his habit to perform ablutions at home.
Karachi Water and Sewerage Board Chief Chemist Yahya Waseem Qureshi said that our team visited the house of a person affected by Nigeria where his family members said that they do not get water from the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board. They obtained samples of boring (underground) water used by them, the results of which showed that the water contained 2,900 TDS (total dissolved solids).

Earlier, a report released by the Regional Disease Surveillance and Response Unit of the Sindh Directorate General of Health Services said that the deceased had contracted the Negleria virus from his own home water.
