Indore Officials Address Water Supply Issues Amid Criticism and Low MLA Attendance
In Indore, BJP MLA Malini Gaud criticized the local administration for ongoing issues with contaminated water and inadequate supply, highlighting unimplemented infrastructure projects despite repeated complaints. A water supply review meeting led by Urban Administration Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya and Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava saw low attendance from elected representatives, prompting Vijayvargiya to suggest absentees may lack water problems in their areas. Opposition leader Jitu Patwari condemned the absence amid concerns over a potential citywide water crisis due to weak monsoon rains.
