At least 15 people have died in Indore's Bhagirathpura area after consuming contaminated drinking water, with one person critically ill. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of E. coli and other fecal bacteria in water samples, with some showing elements similar to cholera bacteria. Local representatives allege administrative negligence, citing ignored prior complaints. The High Court is scheduled to hear the matter today, having previously requested a status report from the state government.
