A non-governmental organization claims that recent deaths and hospitalizations in Indore due to contaminated drinking water stem from authorities ignoring a 2019 CAG report detailing systemic weaknesses in the water supply system. The NGO highlighted past reports of water-borne diseases and unfit water samples. Officials confirm six deaths and over 200 hospitalizations, while local residents report up to 16 fatalities. The mayor indicated knowledge of 10 deaths.
