Police brought the situation under control and dispersed the demonstrators. The angry Demonstrators demanded investigation about the discharge of polluted water and punishment for responsible persons.

Chief Minister Sindh constituted a three-member enquiry committee headed by chief secretary of Sindh to find out the officials who were responsible for this tragic incident. The committee also looked into the failure of health department to provide timely medical care. The suspected officials warned government that if any punishment would be given, whole administration would resign. Therefore, the government only transferred the four accused persons, no other punishment was given. The committee could not find out who (Irrigation department or Water and sanitation Authority) was responsible for this tragedy. Federal Minister of Industries has announced that the federal government will pay compensation to the families of people died by unhygienic drinking water in Hyderabad.
