Madhya Pradesh Minister Takes Responsibility for Indore Water Contamination Incident

Madhya Pradesh Urban Administration Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya accepted moral responsibility for the water contamination incident in Indore's Bhagirathpura locality, which led to over 23 deaths between December 2025 and January 2026. He attributed the incident to negligence and challenges in servicing a less-educated settlement, defending the government's response and actions against officials. Opposition members criticized the handling, alleging inadequate accountability and politicization of the tragedy, while Vijayvargiya expressed personal attachment to Indore and rejected claims undermining the city's cleanliness record.
