The BMC has revealed that 92% of all the Ice samples across the city tested positive for a dreaded E.coli bacteria just prior to the monsoon. This indicates that an unhealthy quality of water was used to make this ice. If consumed, it can lead to several diseases such as diarrhea, food poisoning, gastroenteritis, vomiting etc. These included samples collected from hotels, bars, ice sellers, juice stalls, ice-gola vendors, fast food outlets etc. and several other places.
