Indore Judicial Panel Extends Deadline for Water Contamination Evidence Submission to April 1

The judicial commission led by former Madhya Pradesh High Court judge Justice Sushil Kumar Gupta investigating the December water contamination in Indore's Bhagirathpura area has extended the deadline for submitting evidence to April 1. The inquiry seeks documents, affidavits, and representations related to the outbreak of vomiting and diarrhoea, deaths, administrative lapses, and remedial measures. While residents and the Congress claim 36 deaths, the state health minister reports 22. The extension aims to gather comprehensive factual material from affected families and organisations.
