Following the death of a five-year-old girl at Kanika Iluppai village near Cheyyar town in Tiruvannamalai district, Tamil Nadu, allegedly after she consumed mango juice from a local shop on August 10, 2024, health teams are conducting door-to-door inspections in the region to monitor any potential spread of ailments.

Officials of the Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, meanwhile, formed health teams to conduct door-to-door checks in the village on Tuesday. The District Food Safety Officer, A. Ramakrishnan, said the samples of the juice and the entire consignment from the local shop have been collected for testing.
